Kingman Island

Kingman Island is bisected by Benning Road via the Ethel Kennedy Bridge at a place called the Burnham Barrier, with the southern half of the island bisected by East Capitol Street via the Whitney Young Memorial Bridge. Langston Golf Course occupied the northern half of Kingman Island, while Heritage Island and the southern half of Kingman Island constitute the protected Kingman and Heritage Island Park. The former RFK Stadium and future New Stadium at RFK Campus are located to the west. Kingman Island and Lake are named after Dan Christie Kingman, the former head of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
