Small riverside park with marshes, creek-side woods and boardwalk views along the Anacostia — good for tranquil waterscapes, seasonal birdlife, reflections and intimate forest compositions. No admission fee; parking near the recreation center (6600 Kenilworth Ave). Best at golden hour or sunrise for low light and mist; weekdays are quieter. Trails and boardwalks offer accessible vantage points; expect mosquitoes in summer and muddy sections after rain.
