Review & FAQ:
The Theodore Roosevelt Island Park is a park on the 88.5 acre island that is located in the Potomac River. The island was known by several names including Anacostine Island, Analostan Island, Barbadoes Island, Mason’s Island, and My Lord’s Island. Eventually the island was given to the American people in memory of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.
Maintained by the National Park Service, the island park is part of the nearby George Washington Memorial Parkway. There are no cars or bicycles allowed on the island which is maintained as a nature park with walking trails and a memorial plaza with a statue of Roosevelt.
