Getting Around

Nationals Park sits in Washington's Navy Yard neighborhood along the Anacostia River, with the Metro's Navy Yard–Ballpark station on the Green Line right by the gates. Metro is the easiest way in from around the DC area.

Parking

Garages and lots serve the Navy Yard area, but Metro is strongly recommended given the station beside the park. If you drive, book a garage and arrive early.

Best Seats & Views

Lower-level seats along the infield offer the closest views, and some upper areas look out toward the U.S. Capitol. The center-field and outfield areas are lively, more casual spots.

Where to Stay

The Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard area around the park and downtown DC both connect easily by Metro and offer a wide range of hotels. Staying near a Green Line stop keeps the trip simple. Compare dates for the best rates.

Nearby Attractions

The Capitol Riverfront and The Wharf waterfront districts are nearby, and the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall, and the Smithsonian museums are a short Metro ride away.
