Good old green line only Metro stop. Seriously, I enjoy not having to transfer if I don't have to. But be prepared when you are using this particular station for gamedays. If you haven't had the joy, you need to partake. If you are en route to the ballpark area during a game, ready yourself to become part of the flow. The flow that is gravitating towards the ballpark. And not just the ballpark, since the soccer stadium is over this way as well. If you don't know where you are going...yes you do. Just let the flood of people take you. The whole vibe of this station is the same as other one-line stations in the area. One platform, one entrance/exit, one schedule to have to worry about. When it is not gameday, or it is after the gameday rush, you would not know this is the same place. When it's not a rush of people, it's a calm and quiet place. read more

The metro was an amazing way to get around DC. Nice and clean cars an terminals. Price was fair and the staff excellent and engaged. Lots of kind folks working with the tourists. read more

This station might be, one of the systems most clean. Best guess is being close to Nats Park and expensive housing, could be a reason for this. They have the newer more reliable gate readers. These new ones are an improvement. They still have the crummy brown ticket machines. These are antiques. Hopefully one day WMATA replaces them. Here the staff do a good job. They are really good with, large crowds before and after a game. Much kudos to them for running more trains. This used to not be the case. Definitely the best way to get in and catch a game. Also this station is close to restaurants, and some nice area parks. read more

This was one of the cleanest Metro stations I've seen. The employees who work here are nice and pretty friendly. There aren't many panhandlers or people bugging you for money/help. When there's a game going, someone is down there telling you which exit is best to take. (Thank goodness because our hotel is in the opposite direction and I didn't want to get caught up in that crowd.) There are plenty of machines to get/refill your SmartPass. read more

Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro Station - Train Stations Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

As expected it looks exactly like all the other metro stations in the district. I like the upgraded turnstiles that look more modern and allow you to use the metro card on your phone (Apple Wallet/Google Pay). It's relatively clean considering how much traffic the station gets on game days. Like all other stations there are 2 entrances/exits; 1 close to Nationals Stadium on Half Street and the other further down on M Street. Their is an elevator access to both entrances. Only Green Line goes through this station but it's an easy jump to L'Enfant and Metro Center where several other lines converge. read more

What's to say it's a metro station, that somehow magically moves further away on your return trip. It does what I says it does on the tin. It allows you to get from A to B. Construction has one of the exits closed. read more

Navy Yard has a Metro station in the area. It seems clean. The best thing about it is the location. A few blocks away is Nationals Park. You can find a few places to eat and shop. It serves the Green Line. It's located on busy M Street SE close to Canal Park. There's lots of restaurants and shops. It gets busy during the baseball season when the Nationals play. With the World Series championship things will be more crazy than ever, so this station will be crazy too. It has a couple of exits. One will take you to closer to the waterfront area. The other will take you close to Nationals Park. read more

Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro Station - Station - Train Stations Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Perfect way to get to a Nats game or to a great food scene in DC! The metro is slick and easy to use as long as it shows up!

Standard Metro station - agree with Chris B. It's not well lit.. I was here a good hour before the baseball game (which was not a sell out at all!) and so it wasn't terribly crowded. There were a few Metro employees pointing people around the escalators since they were quite crowded and they wanted to keep people moving along. I love that it's right next to the ballpark. A half block from the station to entrances to Nationals Park. The station is on the Green line between Anacostia and Waterfront stations. read more

I commend Metro for staying open late to ensure folks get home but the crowds, omg!! It's not their fault, idk if it's fixable but man being a woman at 5'2 and able to push through a crowd, I feel bad for children and disabled people because those crowds are ruthless. Move or get moved! Almost makes me want to stay home but I love the game. Every mode of transportation is a cache 22... I usually take the orange line but traffic was horrendous so I went to the silver line, my first time and much better facilities but the ride was way longer. It took me two hours to get home and I stood the whole way to Wiele-Reston as the train was full all the way... But I couldn't miss last night and it was epic! Go HARP!!! read more

Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro Station - Trying to get home after the 2018 MLB HR Derby! - Train Stations Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Bottom Line: A standard Metro station on the Green Line conveniently serving Nationals Park. Yep, its a Metro station and it has all of the quintessential "features" of DC's subway system - dim lighting, red hexagon tile floors, ugly cement acoustic ceilings and the smell of an electric train. As the name implies, this station largely serves Navy Yard commuters and Nats fans. There are two exits from this Metro station. To save yourself a little bit of walking to Nationals Park exit for M & Half Sts., SE. For the Navy Yard and USDOT, exit M St. at New Jersey Ave. SE. read more

I can't particularly think of anything wrong with this station, pretty average if I must say. My piece of advice would be know which direction you should exit (dept. of transportation or ballpark) to save yourself time. Only the green line runs through here so often there is switching involved to get to/from here at some point for the majority of folks. I think the staff here is probably pretty familiar with getting questions and isn't as abrasive (from my observations) as other metro stations staff. read more

So there's no phone service and the air conditioning sucks. That pretty much sums it up. There are two coffee shops nearby, including a Starbucks and a local shop called Lot38. There is also a Marriot Courtyard hotel, CVS, and Justin's down the street has great pizza and beer (along with burgers and sandwiches.) This is the metro stop for Nationals baseball games and the Navy Yard Park. Navy Yard Park is actually really amazing! It's clean and has beautiful views of the river, open grass for lounging around, and fountains to play in. Also there are a ton of new restaurants set to open behind the Department of Transportation, which itself is a really cool structure with fountains and artifacts that pay homage to transportation through the ages. One station entrance is obvious in that it has the usual awning. But the other entrance near the baseball park is actually in the bottom of an office building. If you aren't looking out for it, you could miss it. read more

This forgotten stop became useful when the ballpark was built and developments in the area slowly followed. Now the exits are too small to handle a real rush, and the stop exits on the wrong side of the street, meaning that everyone has to cross the street on foot to get to the ballpark (or the Navy Yard, or anything else along the water). When there isn't an event, it'll do just fine. read more

It is wonderful being able to take metro to a ballgame. We try to arrive early and wait for the bulk of the crowd that rushes metro after a game is over. read more

stop to get off at to go to nat's games. So close, one block from the park. Nice navy decoration, May 2011 I saw pictures of the navy & 100 years of aviation science. They were cool using the navy hat as the 0 in a hundred. Also near a cvs. read more

Convenient location near the ballpark for when you leave a late night game; however, it was a little creepy with the dim lights inside the metro. The amount of crowd that left the game, it was stuffy and unbearable at times to breath inside the metro. read more

This subway has been around since the 70's. It still is impressive that all the underground subway stops are vast with a tall ceiling and spacious. The system may be old and needs some restorations, but overall, it is still one of the better ones in the country. Because of National's Park, this place gets a lot of bulk flash crowds, but seems to handle it ok. The area around the Navy Yard is improving and use to be a dangerous SE neighborhood. Probably cheaper to metro here than pay for extremely high parking, even if games are not being played. read more

Great location for this metro! Conveniently located near Nationals Park. Can definitely be crowded on game day.

just beware of morning rush where it's like lemmings in action. people push and shove just to get thru the gate

Of course, the only reason for me to use the station, or the entire Green Line for that matter, is to go to Nats games. Just like 99% of the other people who use the station. You can tell that the regular Green Line riders really resent all the extra traffic going to the ballgames. They tend to manage the trains and crowds fairly efficiently. read more

Check out Justin's near by for some good food & drinks. Easy access station and the best way to get on the metro from about a 1/2 mile radius. The station has always been clean, operational, and most importantly not crowded. Of course that will probably change in baseball season but still, getting an empty green line train every time is sure nice. read more

It's a nice metro station for a nice area. Takes you to Chinatown, U Street, and CH in no time.

It's a metro station. They do move people in and out of here around ballgames very well though - the half-street entrance has a good layout. After games it is sometimes easier to got to the New Jersey Avenue entrance though. read more

Nice. Easy to understand. First time ever being in a subway station. Only thing that kinda irritated me was Chinatown area had a power outage and they worked told us to inform another worker when we get off at our destination. I went to do that and the lady I was trying to inform kept telling to swipe my card and as I kept trying to let her know what happened she kept interrupting me.. but after I finally got out what I was trying to say she was very well accommodating. read more

Although I tend to abuse the Metro system with the amount of times I get on and off, when I exited and entered into this station a few years ago, I was a little bit apalled at how dark this station was. It looked like the evening hours, being the one exit sits underneath a building near Nationals Park(professional baseball for the Washington Nationals MLB team). I liked the fact that this station within sight distance of the ballpark, and although you couldn't see exactly what was going on on the field, I could see the risers of the upper deck of seats of the seats behind home plate from this Metro. Cleanliness is just about adequate though. For the few times I used it, I never had a big problem with the station. It was clean and well maintained. It wasn't too bad, all in all, but if you're not in the need to walk to the baseball game or if you don't need to travel to the Navy Yard itself, don't exit, as there is nothing nearby of any significance. read more

I mean, it's a metro station so that's really never worth more than three stars. I'm happy they do have Smartrip only lanes on the baseball side. Also, the station is well designed in terms of loads of space between getting off the train and leaving the station itself. Awesome since it can get so packed otherwise. read more

Can anyone tell me how tall are the escalators in the Navy Yard station and do they have any elevators.
