Suggestions for Outdoors & Recreation near Washington

Cindi R. • April 11, 2010In the spring it's a fabulous setting for a wedding...so fragrant and romantic.

Melody • August 30, 2013Absolutely stunning and tranquil place to visit! Getting there by public transportation is doable but once inside it would best to have a vehicle as the place is 446 acres.

Dizzie T. • November 23, 2013very nice place to take walks with dates, family, friends,pets. beside the structure u can get a view of different trails on each end leading to pavilions and valleys :) lovely view!

Ciri F. • March 26, 2010This is a fabulous park/playground in the Capitol Hill area. Only 4 blocks from the Capitol and within one block of several restaurants. Great stop for the family if you want to have a picnic!

Jason S. • October 19, 2010Yes, great place for dogs, but also a fixture amongst the hill families after school and on weekends. North playground for smaller kids and south for less small kids, not really for kids over 10yo.

T S. • July 15, 2015Nice, calm and beautiful to walk around.

Jon D. • August 26, 2016The lotus festival in July is what everyone will go to, that's why I suggest the weekend before. Everything in bloom, 1/4 the crowd!

Christina S. • July 29, 2013The history of the original Union Station is amazing...too bad they slapped on a bunch of cheap plastic crap on the back and made a total disgrace of the original architecture....

Jake S. • July 3, 2015Tennis courts are good, a little soft but the park is new and updated

Moreno • February 15, 2011Great park during the spring and summer months. A little hidden place mostly known to area residents. DC Gov't should spruce it up some as it's somewhat weathered and old, but still quiet.

Ronan C. • August 26, 2010a beautiful park around an old civil war fortress.

Charise V. • August 10, 2014Good spot to take your dog for a walk.

Jus S. • August 27, 2011Nice place...not like NW

Shawn W. • August 16, 2012Great place to work out in the Morning!

Kevin K. • November 13, 2012Look for big changes to the plaza in front of Union Station as several years of construction comes to an end in December 2012. It's looking good and so does the view of the Capitol Building from here.

Derek G. • July 20, 2011The superbowl champion Beacon House Falcons work out here.
