Check out the Yards Park concert series every Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 in the summer. Live music, food trucks, beer from Churchkey, hanging by the water. Can't go wrong!

Lovely spot to walk, run, or roll near Nationals Park. Great waterfront location, and so so so many places to grab a bite or drink. Bluejacket and Osteria Morini are some favorites.

Splash fountain, huge wading pool, sloped benches and boulders to climb: what's not to like for kids. Food, beer, and live music on Friday nights in the summer.

The Yards splash pad is right off the Anacostia River Trail and proximal to Ice Cream Jubilee. This is one of the coolest public spaces in the world. Travel guide - www.bikabout.com/washington-dc

Yards Park is a wonderful place to picnic with children; the center-piece of the Southwest waterfront has plenty of open grassy spaces, seating areas, a boardwalk, and fountains.

Friday night summer concerts are a blast. Free, on the waterfront and just plain beautiful views make this a must destination during the DC summer months.

Make sure to walk behind the ridiculously awesome waterfall. Also chill on the boardwalk next to the Anacostia and revel in the fact that there's finally a waterfront park in DC worth going to.

The only wadding pool around for both children and adults alike. This is the perfect park to enjoy a picnic and dip your toe into the fountain for a chance to cool off on a hot summer day. Read more
