“Dear PoP,
I was down at the kick-off concert Saturday at The Yards — what a fantastic place. There was an art show going on, live bands, food, etc. I will send some pictures.”
Some folks have already mentioned how impressed they were with the new park but I wanted to share this sweet photos from the opening ceremonies this past weekend.
More photos after the jump.
Even the trapeze school is located there
Where is it!?
“The entrances to the The Yards Park are located at 3rd and 4th Streets, SE and at Water Street, SE which is two blocks south of M Street, SE”

Interesting – I dont know how i missed it, I was down there yesterday driving around trying to find something else. Thanks.
now all they need is food!
You’re free to bring your own. There’s a Five Guys a few blocks from there, as well.
True!
This looks great. Whenever they develop the McMillan Filtration parcel (2013?) they should put a nice wide bridge like this over the Reservoir.
Thanks for the pictures! Been meaning to get down there– I work in the area and it looks like a nice place for an afternoon walk or run.
I live in the nieghborhood and they’ve been hyping the addiion of a dogpark. Turns out it’s a tiny spit of compost with temporary fencing that dogs can slip out of. Really dissapointed. I’m hoping it’s just temporary Nd that it will be expanded and given real fencing.
Other than that, the park is really neat. Opens up a lost part of the waterfront.
This really is an amazing park
