A spur of the moment trip to see the Nationals in DC was an easy audible with close proximity to the Metro and a knowledgeable, hardworking staff to smooth all the edges. One note. If you look for tickets on-line, the Nats will force you to create an account with MLB.com -- a task which is somewhat involved since I have no interest in buying the team and only want two tix. As the Nats run a cash-free organization, the easiest thing to do is go to their ticket office directly outside the center field gate and they'll text you two tix without the MLB nonsense. Being an avid ticket stub collector, I should deduct a star but what the hell, the evening was a blast. A beautiful ballpark and a great time. Five easy stars.

Loved this cute little playground. It's definitely a woodland wonderland…read more I appreciated all the cute details around, my kids were so excited every time they spotted a woodland statue around. There is a play area with water spray structures, this was a hit on a hot summer days. There are bathrooms conveniently located near the playground and I was pleasantly surprised that they were clean. There are so many hidden fun things so keep your eyes open while you walk around! Can't wait to be back.

Such a fun new park find for a mom with kids who need to burn energy…read more There is a baseball field listed here, but I couldn't pull up Capital One Park East, so I'm guessing most people will end up using this listing instead. Same area just separated by a lot. Major mom win: there are bathrooms It's right across from Wegmans, has shaded tables (yes please), a water fountain, and easy parking in the garage across the street (first 2 hours are free ) Bonus surprise: on top of the parking garage there's another small play area--with water! My kids were living their best life up there. Everything is super colorful, clean, and just overall a really good time. I also noticed someone walking around every few minutes wiping down tables and checking trash, which I appreciate so much as a parent. Oooh and theres a mini workout area . Only tiny side-eye moment : I did see the same towel used on tables and then on the trash can... and not tossed after. So I'm hoping it's not making a full tour of tables, trash, and bathrooms Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely be back!

The area that features a lot of climbing, has some larger footholds and is probably best for the 5+ set unless your kiddo is younger but taller.

No swings here but lots of other areas to stay busy.

The Community Center needs to have a review to reflect the upgrade of the walking/hiking trails…read morethat have been constructed. Tucker Road has a ice skating rink along with baseball/football fields and tennis courts. But my main interest in coming here for the last three years has been to exercise, they provide many different paths at the center with many circuitous routes. I like to circle the entire property when walking and this amounts to approximately 3/4 of a mile and there are many activities and games being played so you're not just looking at greenery around you, which is never a bad thing. I am pleased with the progress of TRCC and am rating on the presumed upgrades they will continue to make. Overall I see it as an average to above average area to get a nice walk in. And what's wrong with that.

When you drive to the very top of the park, there's a parking lot. A connection to the Anacostia River Trail (all-weather track) is found there, and easy to locate. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly lovely at the top.

I really wish they had more concessions at this arena, so typically we have dinner before or after pending the game time. If you get the tickets with beer/wine and snacks I highly recommend to only sit in the lounge. The floor seats aren't worth it at all. You can be on the opposite side of the lounge and be forced to walk up the stairs around the arena back down the stairs grab your snacks only to have to do that all over again to get back to your seats. The ushers also give conflicting information and be told to walk one way and then be forced to walk another by another person. It makes it very confusing and frustrating for a guest that is just following what they were told.

I can't believe this was my first time to a game since the Mystics were moved from Capital Sports…read moreArena. But let's talk about the route to the arena. What the What?! Who thought this through? You'll definitely have to get there early due to that 2-lane, tight squeeze through the neighborhood. I'm sure the people who actually live there hate game-day as it makes it harder for them to get home. That's crazy. BUT, after the game, on my way home, I turned right (instead of left to follow everybody else and return the way I came) and found an easier route. It was actually a route I know as my friends live by the big chair and I could easily hop onto 295 to get home. But I digress. The Arena itself is pretty nice. It looks like the area is being renovated a bit. I'm not sure exactly where in DC it is, but there are several old buildings in the area that had to be in use at some point in time. It didn't take too long to get in and our seats were right up front. The atmosphere for Pride night was festive. I was easily able to grab some food & drink and head to my seat with no problem. It is a smaller venue, but it felt cozy. I had a good time. After the game you can go across the street to an area which holds a few eateries and there's one big indoor area with a bar. If you park in the garage, be prepared to wait about 20 minutes before there's any movement so you can get out. I was nervous I'd be sitting there LONGER, but once we started moving, we got out quickly. If you get there EARLY you can probably park on the street which will facilitate your exit.
