Then there are the things you wouldn’t expect to find connected to a landfill at all, like a city park. Kenilworth Park, however, was known as the Kenilworth Open Burning Landfill when it was closed, buried and seeded with plant life to create a municipal green space. The Kenilworth South site was even known as “Mystery Mountain" among locals for a while, after the National Park Service allowed half a million tons to be dumped there by two contractors in 1997. The gargantuan, secretive debris pile covered more than 15 acres of land and towered 26 feet in the air. Now, it’s slated to become part of the Anacostia River Trail. From methane gasses to bacterial colonies, waste carts marked for recycling to entire city parks, there’s no shortage of secrets at the garbage dump in Washington, DC. For more details please visit
