Garfield Park, Urban park in Capitol Hill Southeast, United States.
Garfield Park is a public green space of about 7 acres in the Capitol Hill area that combines several sports facilities on one site. The grounds include tennis courts, volleyball courts, bocce areas, and a central playground with full-sized play equipment.
The site was designated as public land in the 1791 L'Enfant Plan for Washington and later operated as a tree nursery in the 1830s. This early function supported efforts to expand greenery throughout the city.
The park serves as a gathering place for Capitol Hill and Navy Yard residents who come to play sports, exercise, and spend time together. The range of courts and central playground shows how this space brings the neighborhood together.
The park sits at 200 F Street Southeast and is open 24 hours a day with no fees or entry restrictions. Its location makes it easy to walk between the Navy Yard and Capitol Hill neighborhoods.
The western edge of the grounds slopes down and becomes a natural sledding hill during winter months when snow covers the area. This seasonal feature provides an unexpected outdoor activity in the middle of the city.
