"Georgetown Green Once upon a time, there was a run-down parking lot located under the Whitehurst Freeway leading into Washington, D.C. It wasn’t a place that anyone, even someone who needed to park a car, would think of coming. Thanks to the persistent efforts of the citizens of Georgetown, that rundown parking lot has been transformed into a much welcomed and needed piece of green space. Completed in 2011, Georgetown Waterfront Park is the newest multi-use urban park in D.C. One of the main features of the park is a path that runs along the natural curve of the river. It’s perfect for strolling and is extremely popular for joggers and bicyclists connecting with the Capital Crescent Trail. At one end of the park is a mixed-use complex called the Washington Harbour. There, you’ll find a few waterside restaurants where you can eat while enjoying views of the Kennedy Center, Roosevelt Island, the Key Bridge, and the skyline of Rosslyn, Virginia. It’s a perfect place for a bit of happy hour. If you have little ones with you, this is a great little spot for letting them run around. During the warmer months, the water fountain is turned on, and it's popular for kids who enjoy darting in between the waterspouts. During the winter months, the open space at Washington Harbour turns into an outdoor skating rink. The highway is still here, but what was once a scary place is now a spot I come to when I need a break from shopping in Georgetown!"

Nice, peaceful and wide space to enjoy water views, dine, sit on the grass and go Latin dancing outdoors for free (Saturday and Tuesday nights from mid spring to mid Fall). Beautiful sunsets with a view of Key Bridge, Roosevelt Island and Kennedy Center. There's also a kayak rental nearby. Also a good starting point to go biking on the Capital Crescent and C&O Canal trails. Has a fountain where kids can play and get wet. Can take the water taxi to other waterfronts in DC, Maryland and Virginia. The main issue I discovered is that there are no public drinking water fountains and toilets in this this park, so you have go into one of the establishments in the area to get those needs met. Also not Metro accessible and parking can be difficult, but that's all of Georgetown.

Georgetown Waterfront Park is stunning in the spring. The fresh greenery adds to an already beautiful setting. Whether you're walking, biking, or just relaxing on a bench by the river, the views of the Potomac River and Key Bridge are unbeatable. It’s a great spot for a peaceful stroll, a picnic, or simply people-watching with a coffee in hand. The park is well-maintained, easy to access, and offers just the right mix of nature and city energy.

I enjoyed the walk towards the Georgetown waterfront on a pleasant day. The dogs and people were out but it wasn't crowded. The boardwalk is the perfect place to sit near the river. There are many restaurants nearby to eat and enjoy the views or bring your own picnic. ❤️❤️Day or night the atmosphere of people and the fountain feature are great.

Georgetown Waterfront Park is a scenic and well-maintained park along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. It's a popular spot for both relaxation and recreation, offering a mix of lush green spaces, paved paths, and waterfront views.

Good place for walking, nice view to Arlington and D.C. It’s more beautiful during the night with buildings lighting.
