I visited the Canal Park a few years ago when they newly opened and not many buildings around. Now it is a much better place to stop because of new buildings (office and apartments), and the commercial of Navy Yard. I am glad the canal is here to replace the Metro parking lot and old crubling buildings. It is now looks seasoned and I will say again as the oasis of sprawling buildings. Stop by to enjoy it and read about the significant of the canal area that was developed into the park.

My children and I enjoyed a lovely summer day here in the splash park area. Bathrooms are onsite and clean. There is a pizza restaurant onsite and many food trucks parked around the street. There is a 10:30 show offered for small children on Wednesday mornings during the summer. This does bring in a crowd including, summer camps, day care groups and many moms and nannies. This make parking a bit difficult. There are a few parking lots nearby but some only take cash. The crowd dwindled by 11:30/12:00.
