East Potomac Park
At East Potomac Park, kids can play while watching boats sail down the Potomac or airplanes taxiing down the runway (great view of the city too). This 328-acre park has public swimming pools, tennis courts, golf and playground. Plenty of play equipment for all ages. New equipment features rubber mat surfacing which accommodates strollers, wheelchairs and wobbly toddlers. Older equipment includes a log cabin, tire swing and sand. Shade, bathrooms, plenty of parking, picnic benches and lots of areas for kids to run around. Not crowded during the week.
Also, see nearby Hains Point and the Jefferson Memorial. Hains Point, a popular picnic spot, is a great place to check out the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin. To get to the park, take Maine Avenue West or Ohio Drive South (located between Potomac and Washington Channel). Free admission.
