A visit to Yards Park is a great day out for all the family. The park has been designed to feature eleven separate 'rooms', and there really is something for everyone. It is located on the waterfront of the Anacostia River and the area of the park was originally an annex of the Washington Navy Yard before being redeveloped.
Yards Park Design
The 11" deep canal is ideal for children, and they will love wading and splashing in the water. All of the water in the park comes from the city's water supply, not the river, and is treated before it is used. There are also fountains that children are able to play in. It is advised that you check the website before you visit to check whether the water features are open.
Yards park is also a great place for getting fit. There are many areas within the park that can be used for walking and jogging. During the summer months exercise classes also take place that anyone can join in with. All of these classes are free, and there is such a wide selection on offer that you are sure to find something that interests you.
Entertainment
The park is also used as a venue for different performances throughout the year. This year a series of Friday night concerts are being held and these are proving very popular. Check the events calendar online for details of who is playing. If you are attending one of these concerts then you are more than welcome to bring your own picnic.
