Really nice park on the river...people were out with their kids and pets. Great place to also find a quiet place and reflect. There are a few Cafes but not sure if they were closed for the season. They also have an interactive part ...you scan the code and it provides a mini guided tour with different historical facts about the location. Great location to walk/jog or even yoga during the summer.

Wonderful venue beautiful grounds outdoor eating fountains just lovely you will want to definitely visit here !!Yes yes !!

Its a great location that offers enough space for social distancing outside. Its a place where people gather and kick it alongside the river. Whether you pack snacks from home or you buy food from one of the restaurants along the walkway its a great place to set up hang out and chill.Or walk - considering the walkway stretches along the river. Kudos to the visitors and/or employees that keep it litter-free. Good stuff!

Visited this waterfront park today. Nice amount of seating if you get there early in the afternoon on a weekend. Huge and long boardwalk to experience next to the Potomac River. Tons of restaurants, bars, and a ice cream shop near by. If you are looking for a quick snack or some water, just walk to the Harris Teeter grocery store near by or stop in just to soak up the AC during the hot days of summer. Due to COVID 19 and social distancing the water fountain was turned off. Overall a good picnic, first date, or hangout spot to experience!

Love it here. Always good food, people, and events.

What a beautiful find! We spent several hours walking around here before a Nationals game. The walk is along the river and it was a breezy and absolutely lovely day. There are several restaurants on one side and the river with boats on the other side. A great find was the shallow pool with a waterfall on the back wall. FREE! Nice to cool off on a hot day! There are chairs and a shaded area to sit if you want to take a rest. Great way to get in some exercise as you can focus on the river instead of the effort put forth by walking or running, especially on a hot day!

Yards Park is a very enjoyable place to visit and have a good time in no matter what youre looking for. Theres plenty of great restaurants and shops to choose from, and the general atmosphere is quite pleasant. Theres also many places to sit and chill. Overall its a very nice place to go for a weekend.

We always go early on a weekend morning, parking is easy and cheap, unbelievable. Slowly the pool area fills up with kids bday parties. Our 2 love it. Perfect depth for youngsters. And clean bathrooms.

Absolutely beautiful. So peaceful. A must visit

Great place, nice vibe, good river view and ample place for social distancing. Went there with family, loved it. The small pool was closed, the paid parking was full($13) , so better go little early. We parked on nearby street.Totally recommend this place

Incredible place. Stopped with my daughter and puppy- to cool off in the splash area. Didnt realize it was an actual pool and waterfall. My daughter was so excited. Family atmosphere. Very peaceful and friendly. We walked afterwords and stopped for some Ice-Cream. I saw a really interesting looking craft beer/wine tasting spot but didnt get the chance to check it out. Looked incredible. Many cool restaurants line the strip.

Although this area has become unbearably crowded since it was first built, its still a wonderful place with various waterfront nooks and boardwalks to explore. I recommend coming on a weekday or during not so great weather to avoid crowds. Bammys Carribean food is amazing!

Lots of different shops to visit. Parking can be tricky. Great area.

Bammys food was terrific. I had curry shrimp, conch, and festival and everything was flavorable and delicious.

Beautiful area for a walk at night and cool structure of the bridge and waterfront. Im looking forward to coming back here on a different season. Theres some nice restaurants around the area.

The award-winning sculptural bridge is the architectural icon of Yards Park. Kids love walking across it and getting a birds-eye view of the canal basin and Anacostia River. Have your camera ready for some Instagram-worthy photos! After you cross the bridge, enjoy the river with a stroll along the park’s boardwalk. It runs for a quarter mile along the riverfront and connects to the Navy Yard Riverwalk Trail.

This is a great spot to just come walk around. Waterfront plus lots of places to sit under the shade. Pets welcome and if you got kids the little water area is great to cool off. This place has multiple restaurants to choose from.

The Yards should support and host local bands as well as performance artist to help people get out the house and enjoy nature and attend activities while still focusing on the social distance Guidelines. I am sure this will also help to people that are feeling a little anxiety or feeling down from the current situations because of this virus, i know because it happens to me sometimes but when I go out into nature and do something positive or attend activities then there is no room in my mind for negative thoughts So I hope this pushes waterfronts and surrounding venues to create a daily or weekly or even monthly event for the communitys in the DMV. #dmv #reviews #friends #family #social #eventsFollow @chefkamalc on Instagram if you enjoy my reviews or daily post or weekly reviews or just to see some really interesting food

Not a bad place but will be better when they get the pool open again and fountains turned back on.

Love this place. Plenty of space to sit and take in the sites. A lot of great restaurants surrounding it. In the warmer seasons there are lots of kids playing in the fountain/ pool. Dogs abound. A great place to have a picnic and people watch. Take a walk or just sit and meditate, read a book, or whatever you fancy.

Nice chill spot. The water def doesnt look like the profile picture. Theyd cut it off so it was just dry and bare.

Yards park is vibrant, full of shops and of course Nats stadium.

Kids love the wading pool in the summer (pre covid) and super romantic to walk at night with your bae... Thats what the kids are saying these days, right??

Great place to hang with anyone. Restaurants , ice cream, wading pool, dog park, all on the water. Music on some nights and amazing atmosphere

Beautiful familiar place with great views and restaurants around.

It was really nice and relaxing to walk here. The grass was uncomfortable but I liked sitting there while eating my icecream.

Full of Great places to eat and it has a Harris Teeter

Nice area! Went to a Friday evening concert series. Saw a very good Reggae band, Jah Works. They are from Baltimore and are a great band. The waterfront was picturesque. Had a great time and will definitely do it again.

Good service, good grub, decent setting. Really good place for a couple of beers and some relaxation.

Beautiful park on the Anacostia waterfront, plenty of restaurants to try out. Great place for a quarantine date.

Fun, clean place to bring the family and enjoy some great views. In addition the restaurant in this area are amazing

Nicee & spacious, dog park near by, nice views, plenty of restaurants, limited street parking, have to mainly park in garage.

Visited the beautiful park on a cold rainy day in the middle of the work day, so it was empty. There is plenty of space for very large crowds, the open space is designed very well and its all so elegant. Because of the rain, I only took one outdoor picture, and I didnt explore. I will absolutely be back on a nicer day to explore.

Dope spot. Whether its hanging with friends or family, or taking someone on a date its a good place.

Wonderful place to enjoy family and friends on a beautiful day especially with COVID going on. If you just want to get out the house and enjoy fresh air.

Love this spot for letting the kids splash/swim, looking at the boats, and decent restaurants nearby

Clean, looks beautiful, and has many shops around it, including Harris Teeter, for either food or if you just forgot something. Love everything about the park. Including the simple and cheap parking.

Great place to hang out during the Ronã. Easily social distance and relax while enjoying the water.

I waited through this park and boardwalk and enjoyed the scenery and local ice cream. The is plenty of space to gather with friends and families. There is a wading pool for the hot months. The water fall at the end of sidelights is an ingesting feature, allowing you to walk behind it. There is also lawn space, and many tables and chairs. The boardwalk is wide.

Cool bridge, nice walkway, and a good gaggle of leisurely strolling DC-folk.

Cozy place for evening walk! Many options for food.

Great place for a family picnic. Plenty of grassy areas and seating if you forget your blanket.

Loved it. Not open yet. But you can walk on the pier

Great place to people watch and have a picnic!

It a great place for peace and quiet especially when the baseball game is on

This place is beautiful. I always love coming here in the summer time with my family

Awesome atmosphere!! Neat and clean park... Great place to relax, walk and a bit to eat! The waterfront view is excellent, and the river presents a pleasant wind on a hot summer day. Great place for adults and families as well. Its such a beautiful spot.

Great outdoor promenade along the waterfront. Many well spaced dining areas

Very nice place to spend afternoon relaxing with good food and drinks enjoying the view with a nice breeze

Absolutely beautiful place to hang out and dining areas

Great bit of greenery and water features. Plenty of seats to watch the river, enjoy some food. Events are scheduled during summer. Paths are big enough for walking, running, cycling. Also some cool architecture to check out and experience.

Nice park small but lovely

Great place to take dinner and walk around! Very pet and child friendly!

Nice place for walk, run, cycling & for picnic. Many restaurants & cafes.

So fun- great layout, cool bridge and a waterfall you can walk behind!!

So much fun! walking with my Husband and daughter. Enjoyed it very much

Beautiful view, great for long walks.

Excellent place to walk around and relax with family. Also, there are many breweries and restaurants available entertaining through the afternoon and night.

Fun place good for couples to walk

Always a good spot, @tdcbikes

I adore this place! My kids had so much fun

Amazing location and restaurants. Sat outside for dinner enjoyed the meal and people passing.

I love that you can see the baseball park from here and watch the game on the big screen. Its important to keep your ID on you while out there, and expectantly if you want to tour the ship. Its very beautiful. Kids are allowed in the man made water section so thats nice. Well lit at night and relaxing to sit by the water.

Nice modern park with a great vibe

Yards Park is a lovely park for those that live near Nats Stadium area. Plus who doesnt like looking at the water while they relax or exercise.

Its a nice place for families picnics or an evening dinner in a restaurant on the water, Nationals park, DC fairgrounds and Audi field plus metro and stores and bus lines and hotels there is a whole lot to do in the area.

Friday was an absolutely beautiful day by the water.

4 plus. Agent to see Navy play. Our grandson is a midshipman and we got to visit for a short Peroid. Had a great tailgate with USF great ride in from DC. Got to visit long time friend, her daughter is president of the local USF and great time was had by all️

Great place to bring the kids during the hot summer months.

Great place to enjoy the river and some casual restaurants.

Two days in a row my family & I walked along the waterfront taking in the sites, visited a few places that were open...ie Cold Stone Creamery that happened to be giving away free ice cream (like it size) today...yum yum

Nice place to bring a chair and hang out with friends

Great park and beautiful scenery. Just a tad bit crowded for covid19 if you ask me. Sigh people!!!

Very good walking track along Anacostia river. Good restaurants, winery and breweries. Usually a missed point in DC. But a must see location. Also very close to Waterfront and Marina.

I really enjoy spending time in Yards Park (also called Navy Yard by locals). It is a good area for people of all ages to experience. There are seasonal events that take place year round and it is accessible with variety of transportation options.

Beautiful area! Great place for a walk and a bit to eat!

This was a lovely little place to walk around. The big bonus a spot for the children to play in the water. You’ll find it quite lively on a sunny day. With an ice cream store nearby this is a great place to stop and cool down for the whole family.

We packed a small lunch and blanket and took the metro to Yards Park. It was about a 7 minute walk (0.3 miles) from the metro station. The entire pool area is not any more than 12 deep. One of the rules is no toys or water guns and such but everyone had them and no one was getting in trouble. We had a great time. Lots of restaurants nearby including a Potbelly. Parking close to the park is nearly impossible as there is a lot of construction going on. Street parking is available but it is pricey!

Its a very beautiful place Im at Washingtonian I never thought that way you can never look like this whats a beautiful place to have lunch also I will always recommend someone to go to the Yard part follow peace Quiet

Beautiful, were going to miss this place when we move to a different part of DC.

Brand new and clean and trendy part of the waterfront close to Nats Stadium

Great space to hang out, people watch and get some fresh air!!!

Lots of restaurants and green space. Unfortunately a lot more people than I wanted to be around right now, but I would definitely go back.

What a cool place right on the water. Great restaurants and bars nearby and plenty of space to just hang out or walk around. Right near the baseball stadium so its a convenient pregame spot.

A great place to lounge and grab a drink.

Love to have the space to sit and run around!

Very nice area to hang out with some restaurants right on the water. They have fountain/pool emwere you can swim and patio areas with about 6 different restaurants to eat. Definitely check it out if your in the area.

Boring concrete slab. Just a shopping mall

Beautiful day to sit on the grass and grab a Margarita from Agua 301

Cute new experience, friendly staff

Clean, well-kept green spaces and sidewalks, nice splash place in summer, stroller-friendly.

Great afternoon and evening. Easy parking. Great dining

It was very peaceful went with family and really enjoyed our visit.

Must try the ice creams on your walk at the Yards...

Go to District Winery for walk-in wine tasting. Delicious wines. If you want the full tour it must be booked in advance though.

Got to meet DCs most famous corgi here! Clean, but the construction made it feel claustrophobic. Would happily return.

Plenty of space to spread out and social distance.

Great place to visit, always a bunch of locals here

This an impressive venue. Lots of Everything new. The area is booming. Our resteraunt selection there was amazing.
