Georgetown Waterfront Park

Georgetown Waterfront Park is a public park along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., with gardens, walking paths, and broad stone steps along the water's edge. The park features dedicated lanes for cyclists, runners, and walkers, all clearly separated to accommodate different types of movement.

The site was originally an industrial area with tobacco warehouses and ice manufacturing facilities in the early 1800s. It was later transformed into a public park that officially opened to visitors in 2011.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors enjoy outdoor events and social moments throughout the year. You will see people sitting on the riverside steps, walking with friends, or simply spending time by the water.

The park is easy to reach on foot or by bicycle and is well-marked with clear routes throughout. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the stone steps and pathways can be slippery during wet weather.

At the western end of the park sits a geometric labyrinth designed for quiet reflection and walking meditation. This often-overlooked spot lies near the Key Bridge and offers a calm retreat from the busier areas of the park.
