[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean you can drive to Kingman Island and park your car there, how else do you get to any other park trail? You can also easily bike to it via the Anacostia Riverwalk trail that goes by the Kenilworth Acquatic Garden, Boathouse, down to Navy Yard, etc.,

Unclear what more you want? It's easier to get to Kingman Island than some other parks in DC as the parking is far more plentiful by it and it's immediately accessible off of a protected bike trail.

Accessible by foot from an area of moderate density (rowhouses, apartments, some commercial) with excellent public transit access (Metrorail, bus, etc.). Cars and freeway (or other pedestrian unfriendly access) don’t count towards accessibility.

Rock Creek Park has excellent hiking trails and some small picnic meadows but it is largely a [b]wilderness park [/b] mostly accessible from the lowest density parts of the city. The portion of the park in Georgetown is a bit on the narrow side and borders the parkway where it is more of a commuter thruway. The most accessible portion of Rock Creek Park is the zoo itself.

It's pretty easily accessible from directly east of the park in Ward 4, too, though, where it isn't that low-density.[/quote]
