Great park away from the busy part of town. Free parking. Great for cycling and running. Kids play structure on the south side. Really enjoyed spending time here during our visit to DC.
A great place to walk, exercise or just get away from the chaos of the city.
This waterfront area is a charm during spring and fall, perfect for morning runs or hangouts. Though the park shows some age and could use a little touch-up, it remains a fantastic spot. Nearby, the golf course offers great play and amazing views. Whether biking, walking, or just relaxing, the serene backdrop makes it a special place. It’s a quiet retreat from daily hustle with simple, enjoyable outdoorsy offerings. A lovely spot for those looking to enjoy some calm and scenic beauty.
Good location to fish, bike, relax. During high tide the water covers the side walks by the water and into the grass so it can be dangerous but if you don't mind getting your feet wet there are some good size catfish there.
Let's see more people enjoying the park for walking & fishing 🎣😄.
Potomac Island is one of the great hidden gems of DC. Most people dont know how to get to it so it remains hidden. With a nice 3 mile one way road loop, you can drive along enjoying the water at eye level all the way around the island. There's frequent overflights of government helicopters of the east side and national airport on the west side. Check it out!
Love this place. As a beginner it's very comfortable and easy to play. Staff of super friendly!
We have been anchored across from the East Potomac National Park for 2 months. It is beautiful. We walk in the park everyday it is a wonderful meeting place. People fishing and picnicking. Walkers, cyclists use it daily. On the Washington Channel side, enjoy the views of the City Warfe, marinas, boats on the mooring balls or at anchor. On the Potomac side watch aeroplanes land and take off from The Reagan Airport. The playground is immense and a child's dream. The only downside is there are not enough garbage cans on the Washington Channel side going up from the entrance to the golf course going towards the bridges. Which has resulted in people leaving their trash behind. Than again, even with the garbage cans a plenty further down people leave their trash on the ground instead of walking the 100 feet to put it in the trash bin. We see Park staff cleaning up trash daily, they work tirelessly to keep the park clean. Sadly the Public Restroom across from the Mini Gulf is closed and out of service. The Restroom on the Potomac side is open and clean. The jetty dock is excellent and we have used it everyday and is in excellent condition. Needs a trash bin nearby. People sit on the benches enjoying the views but leave their trash behind. When the winds pick up and rainstorm happens all that trash is washed into the river and drifts out to sea. I really hope the walkways right along the river are fixed soon. The current and high tides have some areas closed due to damage. The park is beautiful and must be breathtaking when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. The trees are also starting to show their fall colours. It is an absolutely beautiful park. Parking is free and within walking distance to many of the sites to see around the city.
It is a nice garden to walk around or rest on a grass. You can see the Washington Monument from here. Also, it is right next to the Lincoln Memorial. There is a pond that living creatures live. I like the view of Washington Monument pictures from th
One of the best places to spot the beautiful and iconic cherry blossoms which draw the whole world to DC. Here are some pics that were taken during sunset that give the pink beautiful flowers, a golden glow. Must visit during the peak bloom time!
This is a little-known treasure in SW Washington, DC. It was a gift from the women and children of the Titanic to the men, most of whom died, who chose to stay aboard the sinking ship to make room in the life boats for women to children. This inspiri
We went there for a brisk evening walk, never expecting the Sun to be very intense. But so it was. Apart from that, this place is very beautiful. There are some restaurants adjacent to the waterfront where people can dine outside. The park is clean a
Had a great time touring the Capitol. We had to reserve a time to go on but totally worth it. The tour guide was informative and funny. They use these head phone sets which enable you to hear the guide no matter how far back from them you are. It is
Awesome little neighborhood park. Literally a hidden gem, tucked away between houses. The neighborhood association and City do a great job of keeping it up. It is a bit small and crowds quickly. The biggest thing to know is that there are a numbe
Shady respite from the bustle of Connecticut Ave, bountiful birdsong, a few more cicadas in recent days, and friendly neighbors. Several creek crossings - choose your footwear well and bring a camera!
Went sledding here with some friends, inspired by my memories of sledding there during Snowpocalypse when I was at AU. It lived up to my rosy mems and did not disappoint! I would be a little cautious because you gain serious speed, and my friend actu
This is one of the nicest small trails in this region of the Rock Creek Park area. The trail crosses a little creek several times. The forest is pleasant and green, and the walk is fairly easy. The trail ends near the Peirce Mill site in Rock Creek.
I love coming to barre at the DuPont studio and canât recommend it highly enough. The classes are challenging (there are multiple formats) but inclusive of people of all ages and fitness levels. When I first started barre, I didnât anticipate big
While I haven't trained at many BJJ schools, my experience at Estilo for the past year and a half has set a high bar in terms of my expectations for how a school should operate. The level of instruction, the variety of activities (expert seminars, in
Easily the best trainers I have worked with across multiple states and gyms. During the 2+ years I have worked with Fitness Together, I have seen dramatic results and that is even more impressive considering most of my sessions are now online. How th
Big fan of the layout and appreciated the no-contact service. Ordering was easy to do with my phone and staff was helpful if folks had any difficulties. The outdoor layout is comfortable. The beverages were clearly made fresh and full of flavor - sna
This review is for the kids classes. My daughter - at this point - has only taken two classes but I already know we have lucked out by having such a great environment and team of people to coach her. Shaun has a great deposition and seemingly a wea

Iâve been coming here since February of 2022 and love it. Iâve been doing CrossFit since 2007 and have been to many gyms over the years. First, the coaches and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming - whether youâre a newbie, beginner, dr
Never seen a bad review of this place and rightfully so! The food is so delicious and you feel completely at home. A quirky and very comfortable neighborhood spot that is super affordable and fantastic for brunch. The menu is all over the walls so p
I normally don't give a five star review, but I had a lot of fun here. It is on the second floor and there is no sign. We arrived at 4:30 pm on a Friday and people were already waiting. By opening time at 5pm, there were enough people to fill the pla
This church, renowned as the largest in the country, is truly a sight to behold! Its vast interior is complemented by breathtaking art and design, with the tile artwork being a particular highlight. The church spans two levels, each offering its own
