    Girard Street Park is a medium size park north of Meridian Hill Park/Malcolm X Park in Columbia…read moreHeights. There's a large field, two playgrounds (one for smaller kids and one for older), a community garden, an outdoor workout station and benches. They also have a few electronic games that get you to run.

    This renovation of this park came with much fanfare four years ago as another attempt by the city…read moreto gentrify the neighborhood somewhat. However, it's apparent that such a charming park with so much potential will be a victim of its location unless the people who frequent it take better care of it and each other. This park has everything you can ask for in a park: shade, benches, picnic tables, open play area, updated play structures for different age groups, a splash pad, swings, and a full court basketball court. There is even easy access from two neighboring streets, Girard and Fairmont. Fortunately for my three-year old daughter, she is oblivious to the surroundings where you have lowlifes hanging out. She enjoyed her time here and was bummed we had to leave after 45 minutes. During the day, as long as you're vigilant, there shouldn't be any issues in terms of enjoying what the park has to offer. During our visit, there were just a few instances that irked me. One, a couple boys were throwing pebbles/rocks towards another group of unassuming children. And in another, several parents or adults are just sitting around near the play structures smoking their cigarettes away. At night, I'd probably advise all people, regardless of age to avoid this place like the plague.

    DC Native Duke Ellington was incredible! He changed the music scene, and a lot more in his…read morelifetime. What an inspiring person, and his accomplishments and talent live on. Being on this bridge, can mean traffic delays. Then again a common issue in the nations capital. It's with the territory. Am glad this bridge is named after him. The beautiful green and Rock Creek Park are a good combination. This is close to Woodley and Cleveland Park. For those who know Adams Morgan, you certainly know this structure after nights partying. It's not large or architectural gold. Yet it's a pleasant looking bridge, and glad it is here for all to enjoy.

    Although it's just a bridge, it's among the best bridges. It's helped by the terrific view below…read moreit. The Duke Ellington Memorial Bridge is named for one of the city's best known natives. It's a very good tribute to him. The bridge is in very good condition after the years. Bridges are often pretty boring. It's the views that make them interesting. This bridge itself looks nice. It's not looking all rusted like many others because it's been kept up by the city. The bridge is also popular for the good views, too. It's located on Calvert Street, which connects Adams Morgan and Woodley Park, two eccentric neighborhoods. The bridge is also located above Rock Creek Park. It has such a great view of the creek. There's also a trail that runs along the creek filled with bicyclists and runners. Even though it's only a bridge, it's still fun to walk across. It's the best way to get between Adams Morgan and Woodley Park. There's a Capital Bikeshare on the east side.
