Garfield Park

Nice little park not a lot to do but very nive for walking my dog ^^

A lovely park for a walk. The playground is a nice place for little ones to climb and play. The interstate noise can be overwhelming, but it's a nice park for families.

Garfield Park is a hidden gem that offers a delightful recreational experience for families with young children. Garfield Park's toddler playground in D.C. is a haven for young ones. With age-appropriate equipment and engaging play options, it's a must-visit for families seeking fun and enrichment.

Is it the most amazing park I’ve ever seen? No. So not 5 stars. But it is quite nice. Well lit at night. Lots of grass. Playground. Tennis court. Sand volleyball court. Park benches. Well maintained trash bins.

Volleyball court sands needs to be smooth out, replacing and refilled. There's ditches and parking cones on one side.

Nice neighborhood park. I go to play VB on the sand courts their. The sand depth is shallow, so it's easy to scrape a knee or wrist/elbow on the concrete underneath when going for a dive. Also, it'd be nice to have a better protection (tall net?) to prevent the ball from going into the trees/bushes, poor drainage puddles, or the highway (yes, I've seen a hit ball get redirected onto the highway... can't imagine what the drivers' thought!)

Update (03/26/23): Adding some lights for the sand volleyball courts would be nice, esp. since it is next to the tennis courts that have lights.

Be aware there is a homeless camp under the highway next to the park. I still felt safe during the day. All the locals seem very comfortable with it. Good selection of playground equipment.
