The Yards Park

The area was nicely designed with beautiful bridges, lawn and chairs along the way. It’s not too crowded on weekend evening in late April. The night view was pretty amazing, and there seemed to have some great restaurants, winery and stores around this area. We had a fantastic dinner at Chole and walked around the park after it. Highly recommend!

Very nice place to walk around with views of the river. There’s several places to eat down there and a lot of places to sit and relax. Very active area with lots of dog walkers, runners, bikes and even a swimming fountain area for children. Over pretty nice spot.

The Yards Park is a very nice area to stroll around, particularly during summer afternoons. The view of the Anacostia River including the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is worthy of your visit. There are plenty of green areas and benches to sit and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Definitely a place to visit while in Washington DC.

Great little water play area for the kids. No lifeguards on duty generally but the water is only about a foot or so deep so no major worries. Kept pretty clean and a nice waterfall feature as well. Great view and access to a walking path for the adults. Plenty of restaurants nearby as well.

Lovely park with excellent views of the Anacostia River and Frederick Doulgass Memorial Bridge. Very neat and well-kept. Lots of walker, joggers, runners, strollers and pets…but more than enough space for everyone. The area itself has lots of nice and trendy eating options a block or two in. A short scenic walk to Nationals Ball Park. Street parking in the area is tough but there is a large parking lot on Water Street SE and 4th Street SE which is reasonably priced…$2-3/hr on weekdays/weekends. Retrieve ticket upon lot entry, pay at muni meter when you are leaving and insert paid ticket into turnstile. Pretty common process

The Rose All Day event was beauty!!! Everyone was dressed to impressed and the crowd was a sure fun feeling. I’m so happy I came but was told at the lat minute. Il’ll be sure to attend more events with such prestige.

Such a beautiful place for a long walk along the Anacostia! Plenty of open spaces, nice places to sit outside, good restaurants. I tried District Winery for a snack. Very nice

Very nice remake of the old Anacostia Waterfront. A lot of good restaurants and even the only winery in DC, District Winery. Walks along the Anacostia Riverfront from the new Frederick Douglas Bridge to the Navy Yard are very enjoyable, with lost of benches to rests, and sights platforms with weird art instalations to take pictures of.

Really nice area with shops restaurants and bars. There was a live concert which was really good. Lots of kids and adults alike were dancing and relaxing on the grass. It got really busy as it was a Friday night and parking gets tough.

Beautiful walk along the west bank of the Anacostia River on a boardwalk with beautiful views of the river, lots of benches, shady spots, a shallow pool w/ waterfall for kids to play, plus entertainment and dining options. You can also make it a nice walking, running, or biking loop by going across the river on the 11th Street bridge, through Anacostia Park on the east side of the river, then across the Frederick Douglass bridge, and back around to Yards Park -- lots of pretty views and good trails the whole way.
