The Yards is a unique 42-acre development along Washington, D.C.'s Anacostia River waterfront within the city's Navy Yard district, accessible via the Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro station.

The park, which repurposes one of the city's oldest industrial neighborhoods, is one of D.C.'s newest public parks, bestowed with several major urban planning and landscaping awards since its 2010 public opening. Lovely open park space includes a boardwalk, splash pad water fountains, and a unique sculpture bridge, all designed by architect M. Paul Friedberg. The park's greater recreation area is also home to an outdoor performance space hosting events such as the DC Jazz Festival, as well as a wide variety of waterfront shopping and dining destinations.
