This is a small pocket park located behind an off ramp. There is metered street parking within a…read morereasonable walking distance available, but I do not think people will drive here just for the park. The majority of the park's visitors would be walkers, joggers or bikers. The park is in great shape and features an array of workout equipment including: chest press, hand bike, dips, pull-ups, inclined crunches, leg press, and leg extension. In addition to the equipment, you will find a half basketball court in the park where you can shoot some J's. The stations are linked by a nice paved walkway and all the stations are on a rubber surface. I would take about 30 to 45 minutes to do the full circuit. This is a nice park, but I have never seen anyone really using the equipment. I do like the use of the space and the fact that the park is there if anyone wants to use it. I see this park being used as a quick fitness stop for someone already out jogging or riding a bike. It is kind of secluded, so its lack of use my partially be due to people not seeing it.

The design of this workout park is great! It's nice to have some resistance training equipment…read morebuilt into an urban or suburban pedestrian trail because it enables you to warm up by walking or jogging to the park before you put in a few sets of an exercise.

It's certainly an oasis from the city environment. Come if you are close. If driving a ways not worth it. This area is super busy. Traffic can be a real challenge. Parking for the most part isn't too bad. Am grateful for this park, and hope it stays in its current location. Yet the area is known for parks, and there are better ones.

Not far from Quincy Park is another public park easier to miss since it's nestled within a…read moreneighborhood. Park on the street and follow the signs for this medium-sized park. There's a track around the playground and green space that kids ride scooters and bikes on. The playground itself is built more for older kids with ropes to climb to access the slide. There's enough shade and places to sit. Sadly, there aren't restrooms.

Still a mess in my opinion. They have added more than a dozen kiosk shops that sell fast food,…read morecoffee, drinks or trinkets. However the water fountain and park part of the "water park" are still closed.

Meridian Hill Park is so underrated, far enough away from downtown that tourists either don't know…read moreabout it or is too far for them to get to it (not really a close by Metro stop). I held a birthday party here years ago. I have visited this spot dozens of times when I lived in DC and yesterday I visited again to see the flowing fountains! Definitely much more vibrant, clean, lively, and energetic now. People biking, walking, reading, napping, hammocking, and just hanging out. Great spot to meet with friends, plenty of sunny and shaded spots, with clean bathrooms up on the northeast side near Euclid St. If you have an opportunity to visit, visit!

Following many years of dilapidation, the fountain at Meridian Hill is finally working again. The…read morespace was hopping when I visited, and it's no surprise. A couple of individual stall bathrooms are working on the top level. Most people though, were sitting in the lower domain and enjoying the views.

While finding a parking spot near the tidal basin is basically an impossible task, I can guarantee you will have a better chance at Hains Point park. Beautiful views of the wharf, great spot for plane watching, picnic tables available around the park, a playground nestled in between, public bathrooms (which I didn't use, so can't speak on the cleanliness), anyways, a little bit for everyone. During cherry blossom season this place is truly magical and breathtaking! Crowds are a bit less than at the tidal basin. The grounds are huge! Be aware of the cyclists and pedestrians!
