Emblem Park is a new neighborhood park that opened in November 2025, providing a welcoming green space and community gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

The park features a robust assortment of landscaping and incorporates portal stones from the historic CSX railway that once served the neighborhood. These reclaimed stones have been thoughtfully repurposed as seating and natural barriers for many of the park’s plantings, blending local history with contemporary design.

Special thanks to Complete Landscaping, Horn & Co., Barracks Row Main Street, and the Emblem Condominium residents for their partnership and support in bringing this new park to life.

Adjacent to Van Ness Elementary School, Joy Evans Park is managed by DC Parks and Recreation.

The Yards Park, a premier 5.4-acre waterfront destination in the heart of Navy Yard, provides green space and water features for all to enjoy the outdoors along the Anacostia River. Designed by landscape architect M. Paul Friedberg and opened in 2010, this award-winning park is built as a series of outdoor "rooms" featuring the Dancing Fountains with playful water jets and color-changing lights, the Canal Basin and Waterwall that pay homage to the historic canal that once connected the river to the U.S. Capitol, and a sculptural pedestrian bridge linking the Great Lawn to the Overlook. Visitors can stroll the quarter-mile boardwalk along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, relax in the shaded River Street Gardens, or take in river views from the Terraced Lawn Steps. The park hosts year-round programming including a free Friday Night Concert Series in the summer, fitness classes, festivals, and community events, making it a vibrant gathering place for residents, workers, and visitors alike.

Tingey Square sits at the convergence of The Yards development, Nationals Park, Yards Park and the Anacostia River, and Canal Park, serving as a central node for pedestrian activity and neighborhood connection.

Designed as an active yet flexible public space, the plaza offers light seating and gathering areas that support daily use and casual interaction. Looking ahead, Tingey Square is envisioned to evolve into a vibrant convening space and neighborhood gateway, functioning as both a community hub and a key wayfinding node that helps orient visitors and residents alike.

Just across the street, Tingey Plaza serves as a temporary events space supported by the Navy Yard Parks Foundation, providing an additional community gathering place for a variety of public programs, including holiday markets, food festivals, and other community-focused activations.
