The Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is a national park located in Ward 7 of Washington, DC. It is the only national park in the country that specializes in the display of aquatic plants. Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens (FoKAG) was founded in 2001 by a small group of volunteers enthralled by the park’s unique beauty and place in DC's history. Keenly aware of the enormous task of maintaining the park, FoKAG works in cooperation with the National Park Service to ensure the park is well-maintained, well-enjoyed and welcoming for neighbors and visitors. FoKAG is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that connects people to the park through stewardship, engagement and educational programs. We envision an aquatic gardens that inspires. FoKAG celebrates and protects the park by engaging volunteers, enhancing park infrastructure, supporting educational and interpretive programs, building community partnerships, fundraising for special park initiatives, and much more.
