Children's Park

Children's Park is a neighborhood playground in Washington DC's Georgetown neighborhood, tucked in the residential streets away from the busy waterfront commercial strip. Open daily from 6AM to 10PM, it's a free resource for families in the area looking for outdoor play in one of DC's most historically rich neighborhoods.

The playground serves the Georgetown residential community, which tends to draw a calm, family-friendly crowd. Unlike some DC playgrounds that see heavy use from schools and large groups, this one has a neighborhood feel that parents of young children often prefer — less chaotic, more relaxed.

Georgetown itself is worth the visit even beyond the playground. The C&O Canal towpath, which runs along the Potomac River, is steps away and offers flat, easy walking (and biking) for families. The Georgetown Waterfront Park is nearby with open lawn space. Dumbarton Oaks — a formal garden with a children's pool and exceptional plantings — is within easy walking distance (admission required).

Practical note: Georgetown is notoriously difficult for parking. Street parking is metered and competitive; garages are expensive. For families visiting DC, rideshare or a combination of Metro (Foggy Bottom station is about a 15-minute walk) and Uber is more practical. The neighborhood is walkable once you arrive.

The playground's 3.8 Google rating is relatively low — this reflects its basic nature as a neighborhood park rather than a destination playground with elaborate equipment. Visit for the Georgetown setting and the surrounding neighborhood, and consider it part of a broader Georgetown morning rather than a standalone destination.
