Great news! The ongoing construction at the Oklahoma Ave. entrance of Kingman Island is now complete and available for traffic. Folks can once again utilize the island entrance at Oklahoma Avenue and RFK parking lot 6 toward the North West side.

Thanks you for your patience.

Thank You.

Did you know that Kingman and Heritage Islands was once planned to be an amusement park attracting 6,000 visitors daily? Now, the islands boast over 150 species of birds and has restoration plans to house an environmental education center. Read about Kingman and Heritage Islands’ history, clean-up and future in Gustav Cappaert’s article, “Reversing a Century of Neglect on the Anacostia,” now published in the American Way of Life Magazine (AWOL).

Please be aware that the park hours have changed for the winter season. The park will still open at 9 a.m.  However, we will close just before dusk rather than strictly at 5 p.m.

The park will be closed on January 1st and 2nd. We will see you in the new year on January 3rd!

Also, keep your eye out for new picnic tables, trash cans, and gates in the near future!
