Beautiful day kids having fun free food

UPTOWN REBELS #DC'SOWN 13

Great place to just relax unwind and do a bit of sport fishing

Lloyd Bell

It's a park with a river running beside it. What is not to like. Good place to sit by the river, meditate, take a stroll or ride your bicycles, scooters and push a stroller.

Yaw Owusu-Boamah

Nice park

Amber Dixon

Absolutely stunning at sunset!!

cassandra israel

Love the view nice and quiet

Andrew Centofanti

Hidden gem of a park east of the Anacostia. Includes playgrounds, outdoor workout equipment, a city pool, a riverside jogging/biking path that stretches a few kilometers, sports fields and a covered roller skating pavilion. Skate rental is free for DC residents.

Ciara Winsor

phillip mayes

Great Park for bike riders no Hills especially if you are intermediate or older person nice amenities available for families very peaceful part does not appear to have any negativity going on whenever I have been there which is about three to four times a month

Dwayne Reid

A not so hidden anymore gem.

Ms. Branch

One of my favorite places to visit in the District. Enjoy the sanctuary & sites of our newly remodel city.

Lion Around

It's a really park. Great walking trails along the river. My main concern is the amount of trash strewn around. If there's a riverbank clean up program I'm up for it. No one should have to see so much litter at a National park especially in the nation's capital.

Max Olack

There is a feeling of "where is everyone" when you visit here. Lots of wide open spaces but nobody really utilizing them. Ever.

Shad'l Crawford

I absolutely love Anacostia Park it's so beautiful I love to see family and friends come together and enjoy outdoors. I wish the park service would do a better job of cleaning up the trash along the riverside. But my experience was overall fantastic.

J. B

I enjoyed my time down here with the family just walking, talking and enjoying eachother, a nice place to relax.

stanley whitaker

I'm telling you it's a very lovely place to fish The weather is great most of the time The park is very clean

Craig

Nice open, airy space lots of exercise areas.

Tynette Daniels

Family Reunion. The need to establish a cleaning crew for the restrooms.

Pheonix One

This is a nice place to take a walk or ride your bike. Bring the kids and let them get their play on. It has always been a family place since I've known way back to the 70s and Beyond.

D Don

It's all about the river, the rest of the park could use a major renovation. The should be a venue for live outdoor entertainment,and a restaurant on the water.

notasha Washington

Went to Anacostia River Fest & it was nice..A relaxin day & Event ✨I really enjoyed my day out

Giselle M

I love this park

Jacob Hickson

Good trails and playgrounds,

L. Butler

I love Anacostia Park because it's a walking distance from my neighborhood to walk for miles without interruptions. It's a great place to walk and to jog while watching beautiful sceneries...species of variety birds flying, boats cruising, Rowers rowing, athletics of basketball, football, soccer, fishing, rollerblading and families celebrating.

Cole Rosner

Nice with plenty of open fields and space for barbecues and picnics.

Ol' Sarge Jennings

Nice park

Bruce Newton

They cleaned up alot

Monique Murphy

Anacostia Park is a great place for exercise, picnics, fishing, and an overall fantastic place to spend time with love ones. It has two playground for the kiddies, a skating rink, basketball courts and more. It also a bike trail. If you never been your missing out

r lane

If the city could spray for mosquitoes that would be great and if they had more of a concession stand serve food drinks that would be a nice thing

ThomThom

There are some decent areas with playgrounds & facilities north of the 11th Street Bridge. Great for bicycling & running & walking. But it's not so easy to get to.

Robin McKinney

I live in the Historical Anacostia area and I have The Key's to the City.

Logan Council

Good park for jogging and nice green spaces for other outdoor activities like flag football and soccer. The skating rink is a hidden gem during the summer.

Captain Spaulding

Serenity and peacefulness.

Craig Harris

Nice walkway

Dedrick Thomas

Great park but filthy river

Brita Jackson

It wasn't crowded at all and nice breeze

Rodyna L Zabbit

If looking for a typical NPS Visitor Center, there isn't one. The park does have Aquatic Gardens, a Marsh, Pavilion, Urban Tree House, Aquatic Ed & Rec Centers, Golf Course, Marinas, Boat Ramp & Picnicing. You'll also find the NPS NACE HQ at 1900, it's in the one story building behind the US Park Police HQ building and the entrance door is around the corner & on what at first seems like the backside of the building. They are very nice and can give you info, etc., but it's just offices. Don't expect displays or any activities immediately inside or outside.

Lawanda Robinson

They real cleaning up

Soooniiiya S

Free Parking+ No entrance fee!

Deedee Bryant

Provides area residents with a good place to excape.

Mike ValknWing

Nice place to chill in DC. Lot's of new building. Parking can be difficult. Nice walking/bicycling paths along the river. Would not recommend swimming. Many eateries nearby.

Michael T. McNair

Literally grew up here. Love it forever.

Christine Hewett

Lovely walks.

Millee Spears

mark mcneary

Not bad .getting a barbecue spot on the weekends.get there early

Lisa Surles

Need s better Aquarium they leave to early and they're not helpful

Silvia Perez

Beautiful park with beautiful views, they need more attractions to bring more people there to enjoy the park. Also the city has a building there and the staff there are not very helpful.

Van Dyke Jackson

Need upgraded basketball court

Purify Love

Fantastic place, tidal basin, bike trails, skating rink, cherry blossoms, wharf more could a girl ask for!!! One stop nature hop. There are a few seats for sitting, watch the boats, Yauchts, ducks, geese, etc. Amazing views from every side of the water, plenty of open area to play etc. Bring your bike, bus and train line both come here, the new busboys and poets in right up the street, or even better Carribean Citatations a Jamaican Food Staple of deliciousness! Enjoy!!!

Garner Marshall

Love this park I go here 4 times a year to do "girls in the run" with my daughter's. Park is usually patrolled by park police. Beautiful views. Great running and bike path. Wished I lived a little closer I would definitely go a lot more.

Aria Brown

Anacostia Park is a great park for the family. They have soccer and basketball games often, just bring your ball and your game. They also have a pool and a newly renovated skating rink. Surprisingly, they have an aquatic center for the kids and it's full of information. Last but not least there are picnic areas all around and one playground area for kids.

Victor Gross

Great place to have cookouts and family Gatherings

Patricia M. Cooper

I always enjoy walking and running at Anacostia Park. It's always so peaceful and nearly all the other people who are walking and/or running are always very friendly.

Brian Graham

Great place for biking.

Austin Graff

Let me count the ways I LOVE Anacostia Park: 1) It's one of the best running trails in all of DC. It stretches for miles along the Anacostia River and the path is well kept for runners. 2) There's a lot of green space to picnic and enjoy nature. 3) There are hidden gems throughout from murals under highways and even a famous skating ring. 4) It's great for kids. One of DC's best playgrounds complete with a pirate ship is in the park. I could go on and on so instead how about you head on over to Anacostia Park and check it out for yourself. It's a GREAT spot!

Skin Bar

Dirty

Deborah Body

Lil Ayye

Great park for any type of outdoor activity.

Vicky Skorodinsky

The personaity of this place is so unique and I love seeing the vibrant community here. I wish it wasn't so dirty, but it was great seeing people come together to clean it at events as well. It has a free skate rink and pool too, so it's really an invaluable resource to surrounding communities.

Mike Killen

Love the floating condom fish. No body's as of late, must be out of season.

Courtney Weigand

Kind of an industrial area. The part I was in was just a grassy field. However the bike path and running trail is nice and runs along the river.

melvin parada-guandique

Nice and quiet place need some clean up and more trash containers

Karl Hjembo

Great art deco! You can tell they built the area from the ground up. Lots of experimental architecture. Very different from what I saw in 2000.

Whitney Louchheim

Yearning for a walk? Anacostia Park is perfect, alive and wild along the river's edge. You might spot all sorts of wandering wildlife along its shores. You might even experience its breathtaking beauty at sunset. Thank you, Anacostia Park.

Osa Obaseki

It's a great place to go running. Or just stroll along the river. I take my kids to the playground and use the workout equipment ( genius move). There are basketball courts, a dock, skating rink, places to cookout, open fields. I love it here.

Calvin Parker

A nice park to exercise bike and bowling
