How about free roller skate rentals in the summer? Anacostia's Skating Pavilion is the only roller skating rink in the National Park Service. Tennis and basketball courts along with soccer and other mowed green areas provide sports-lovers of all types with a place to play their favorite game. Just BYOB (ball).
Anacostia also lays claim to Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens and Kenilworth Marsh. The Aquatic Gardens are gorgeous in every season, an ever-changing color palette. Go early on a summer morning to catch the water lilies and lotus flowers before they close up during the midday heat. Time your trip just right in late July, and find the annual two-day Lotus and Water Lily Festival in full bloom.
