    It just looked so out of character when I visited. So many DC public spaces have fallen into disrepair, but this majestic square offered playgrounds, sculptures, and park benches, with enough separation from the road to feel like you're in a park, while being embedded in the neighborhood. The main drawback is there weren't any facilities. The cynic in me notes that the condition of public parks varies an awful lot by how rich the neighborhood is, but the pragmatist in me was happy to have found a reason to stop by.

    Lincoln Park is a wonderful park that always looks like it should be featured on a promotional ad - "come live here, it's so family friendly!" It's quite peaceful to see dogs and kids frolicking. Some folks also sunbathe when the weather is nice. Finally, the perimeter of the park is just shy of 0.5 miles, and provides a great alternative to running on a boring track!

    Beautiful park, lots of friendly dogs, weirdly problematic statue of Lincoln from the 1800's.

    Large city park with friendly people and the cutest dogs, too! Two extraordinary statues are permanently there - worth seeing!

    Just moved here and I already love Lincoln Park for its memorials commemorating Mary McLeod Bethune (my fav African American female leader in history) and President Lincoln!

    Garfield Park is dilapidated and ruinous. Most playground equipment is broken or damaged, and it is…read moreoverdue for an overhaul. Kids may still have fun, but this is a subpar destination due to its lack of maintenance and all the noise from the expressway looming over it and directly adjacent. The adaptive swing has cracked plastic and doesn't lock, a merry-go-round thing barely moves, the slides are incredibly slow, etc. Tip: Eastern Market Metro Park near 8th and Penn SE is a better bet if you care about playgrounds. This place is OK for a picnic under the mature trees, if you don't mind the din of highway traffic. It also has an embankment on the western edge that is suitable for wintertime sledding. On the plus side, when my four-year-old and I were there this month, she spotted a rat trapped in the bottom of the metal trash can by the playground. So, although we would never feed pests, we showed mercy on the distressed beast. We got a good amount of memorable and free enjoyment by rescuing it from dehydration and heat exhaustion using an empty chip bag to lift it to freedom, then watching it scurry into concrete blocks under the highway. Ah, the simple joys, haha

    Cool park and place to have fun. Garfield Park is located pretty close to Capitol Hill. It has some…read moreinteresting things different from many other parks. Be sure to check out the playgrounds even if you don't have any kids. They have one for adults too. Getting here from Capitol Hill doesn't take long. It still seems like it's quite a ways away though. This also is close to the Navy Yard. One bad thing is that it can be noisy because of the traffic on the freeway. There's a concrete wall separating the park from Interstate 395, which is where the noise comes from especially when it's rush hour, so if you want a quiet and relaxing visit avoid coming here at those times. Other than that it's one of the best parks around. The playground is cool for kids. If you're an adult you also have your own place to play next to it. They have adult sized playground equipment so you don't have to worry about being too heavy to play on these. It overall is one of the best parks in DC. Other than the freeway noise there's a lot of other things to like about it. This is a nice way of getting from Capitol Hill to the Navy Yard.

    Everyone calls this Turtle Park because there's a giant turtle statue in it. However, fun fact,…read morethere are many other parks with the exact same giant turtle statue. There's even a giant turtle statue just a few blocks away on the other side of Eastern Market. This is a place I never even noticed until we had kids, then it became central to my life. We have come here every single day for weeks on end. We have come in the dark, during the daylight hours. It's not well maintained and always has a myriad of crappy broken down plastic toys thrown about. The drinking fountains are not operations and that's probably a blessing, however I have seen the maintenance guys come by and there are many roaches living in the recesses of the fountains. The park has some shade--not a lot. During peak summer hours it's unbearably hot and there is no water available. If you are thirsty the convenience store across the street is your only option ($5 card minimum purchase btw). During summer months this park has pretty bad mosquitos, so bring bug spray and sunscreen with you. The areas that are shaded are under trees where grass can't grow. The park is generally a bit rocky and dusty/muddy in the grass areas. It appears to have had several trees cut down because their stumps remain. Most of the patrons of the park are pretty conscientious except for the nannies. Some nannies tend to leave a lot of trash behind and I suspect it's just one or two people, but my kids tend to find and pick it up. It's so disgusting in most cases. One funny phenomenon that happens here is many families come here for dinner. There are some miniature tables setup on the side of the playground and families use them for daily dinners with the kids. There's also two picnic tables which are typically occupied by nannies or large parties of people. The far end of the park is devoted to dogs and a few homeless people sleep on the benches. The dog area of the park is also disgusting, lacking grass and being full of dog excrement. A police station is located across the street from the park so much of the surrounding parking is taken up by police cars. Interestingly though, I have never seen a police officer enter the park. They keep to themselves. All in all this is a nice city park. I wish it had a splash area and shrunk the dog run to include some other features, like maybe basketball. But for kids or dogs this is a great Capitol Hill destination, far better than other parks like Garfield or Lincoln in my opinion.

If you're a dog owner, stroll over here and meet your fellow dog owner neighbors. There are benches along the park making it a great place to read if the weather is nice.
