Nationals Park

Washington, D.C. is notorious for traffic, so public transit is generally the preferred method for locals.

Public Transit

• The Metro
  The Navy Yard-Ballpark Station on the Green Line is just half a block from the stadium. Alternatively, fans can use the Capitol South Station (Orange, Blue, and Silver Lines), which is about a 15-20 minute walk but helps avoid the post game Green Line crush. There are lots of park and ride locations throughout the system if you're not staying close to the train.
• DC Circulator Bus
  The Union Station-to-Navy Yard route provides an alternative from that transit hub that drops fans off right at the ballpark.
• The Potomac Riverboat (Water Taxi)
  A unique scenic route. The water taxi runs from Alexandria (VA), The Wharf (DC), and National Harbor (MD) directly to the Diamond Teague Park pier, located adjacent to the stadium.

Biking

• Nationals Park offers a free Bike Valet service located to the left of the entrance to Garage C, on First Street SE near N Street SE. There are also numerous Capital Bikeshare docks around the perimeter.

Driving & Parking

• The Nationals manage 7 garages in the area around the stadium. Garages B and C are closest to the stadium on N St SE with the entrance to C on First St SE. Additional lots are on Cushing Place SE (Lot M), Half Street SE (Lot H), 3rd Street SE (Lots U and T) and 7th Street SE (Lot W). You can pre-purchase parking via the Nationals website or the MLB Ballpark app. The website also has a map showing exact parking lot locations. Street parking is very limited and resident restricted in many places.

Rideshare & Taxi

• A taxi stand is located on the north side of M Street, SE between South Capitol St, SE and Half St, SE. Rideshare is not restricted around the stadium but it is suggested not to ask to be picked up or dropped off on South Capitol Street. This is a busy highway, and stopping there is dangerous. Suggested locations include N St. SE and New Jersey Ave. SE, L St. SE between First St SE and New Jersey Ave. SE, or M St. SE and Half St. SE

The area surrounding the stadium, once industrial, is now one of DC's most vibrant entertainment districts.

  A tribute to the white seats at the old RFK Stadium that marked Frank Howard's legendary blasts. At Nationals Park, notable homers are marked in two ways.
  • Red Seats
    Look for the solitary red seats amidst the sea of navy blue. Examples include Section 100, Row A, Seat 14 (Ryan Zimmerman's walk-off in the park's 2008 inaugural game) and Sections 234/236 (commemorating Bryce Harper's massive upper-deck shots).
  • Commemorative Plaques
    Permanent plaques are mounted where balls landed outside the seating bowl, such as the back wall of the visitor's bullpen (Jayson Werth's 2012 NLDS walk-off) and the Budweiser Brew House railing (Michael Morse's 465-ft blast).
• The GEICO Presidents Race
  A fan favorite tradition during the middle of the 4th inning where Abe, George, Tom and Teddy (and sometimes others) race around the warning track.
• Cherry Blossoms
  Inside the stadium, you will find 14 Kwanzan Japanese Flowering Cherry Trees, eight of which are located in the Center Field Plaza. Unlike the Yoshino trees at the Tidal Basin, these bloom a deep pink and typically peak a few weeks later, often perfectly timing with the first few home stands of the season.
