14th and Girard Park

A Fresh Breath of Green in Columbia Heights

After undergoing a major facelift, 14th and Girard Park in DC's Columbia Heights neighborhood has transformed into a welcoming space where locals gather, play, and escape the city hustle.

Play Your Heart Out

If you've got kids in tow, you're in luck. The play fountain is an absolute hit during those sweltering DC summers - expect squeals of delight as children dash through the refreshing sprays.

There are two playgrounds with equipment for different age groups, making it suitable for both toddlers and older children. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops at the accessible basketball court, which has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate players of all abilities.

Chill Spots and Practical Perks

Need a moment to breathe? The open field offers an ideal patch of green for impromptu frisbee games, picnics, or simply lying back and cloud-watching. Benches scattered throughout provide perches for people-watching or catching up with neighbors.

The park's perimeter fencing creates a sense of security without feeling boxed in. And let's be honest - the addition of two public bathrooms might not be glamorous, but it's a game-changer for families planning to spend the afternoon here.
