Description
Listen! Beneath the bustle of busy Washington, DC, the sounds of friends, families, and fun can be heard. Authorized almost a hundred years ago as a multiple use park, Anacostia Park serves as a city playground while protecting the natural scenery and water quality of the Anacostia River. The park serves as an example of how far-sighted urban planning of Congresses past serves today's generation as well.
Hours:
Current park hours are 9:30 am to 5:30 pm daily.
The park is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
