This is a nice park with a few trails to walk along. The trails lead to the Rock Creek park. This park is also connected to other parks like Montrose Park and this makes it a good place to spend more than a few hours. Good place for the kids to get in the water along the trails and pick some rocks or generally get dirty in the water and dirt!Parking along 32 and R St is the best option (close to Montrose Park).One of the best areas for a nice weekend picnic :)

Beautiful scenery of a creek, meadow & trails for forest bathing. Finding sit spots throughout the park to observe the wildlife is awesome. & if youre with a significant other, or potential s.o., then youll enjoy Lovers Lane. One of many little gems in the district.

This park runs across parts of Rock Creek which makes it a great side spot for anyone enjoying DC outdoors. There will be plenty of street parking around the park but there is no dedicated parking. Entrance is free and open by foot, and it offers several types of trails for any type of nature walk. Some parts are steep and will get slippery if it rains so wear the right shoes. Enjoy the travel!

A lovely park in the middle of DC!! This place is a hidden gem. We went to see the cherry blossoms this year, away from the tidal basin. It was really nice and peaceful and theres a lot to explore.You arent allowed food and drinks in there, and there is a $10 ticket to be there. It has one of those English garden kind of spot. Im sure they do a lot of event organization there, like wedding and parties.It also has another park behind it which is free of cost.. its more like a backyard to the Clintons. Actually thats the spot Hillary Clinton was spotted walking the morning after the election, her photo trended with a dog walker there !

The park is nice and free. Virgin nature to enjoy by. Place can serve as a shelter during the day heat in the summer.

Visited in early March and even in off-season it’s a beautiful, calming place! Free to visit in winter months and plenty of space to roam or even relax on the grass.

Nice park in the heart of Georgetown. Has a small creek and different fields, although there is a fair amount of construction going on there currently

Beautiful... simply gorgeous. Cant wait to go back during the spring and summer!

Wonderful place in the ️ of DC. Im going to come over and over again.

Great place to go birding as well as hiking. Offers lots of terrain and hills for exercise.

Lovely and invigorating walk through the woods of Dumbarton Oaks Park. Streams and wildlife. Peaceful. Great walking and biking trails..

Favorite park in DC, HANDS DOWN.

No matter the season, Dumbarton Oaks is a lovely place visit. The grounds are immaculately kept and maintained.There are a lot of interesting features to see and walk through. While not interactive, lots of area for children to explore.A truely serene setting in the District.

Gorgeous area to walk around!

Beautiful water features both formal and natural!

Great hiking trail in the city. Nice getaway from urban life. A short walk though.

A small hint of heaven on Earth in the realm of imagination...

Best park in DC! Great trails

It is one of the most beautiful places of George Town. A must visit.

Visit here for cherry blossoms ️

This park is huge and absolutely gorgeous, especially during cherry blossom season! There are wide open grassy spaces perfect for children and/or pets. There are also many walking paths, childrens areas, and a pool. Its a safe and fun place for families and everyone.

Beautiful natural heritage, make you relax & peaceful.love it I will recommend it this spring.

A place to learn a chance to grow

What a beautiful retreat from the city -- right in the middle of the city!

A beautiful in-town short hiking trail

It’s a beautiful place

Dumbarton Oak Park is a large park in Georgetown with several playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic area, and light hiking. If you have dogs or small children,its the perfect place to explore!

Love this place

Nice place to stroll

Gorgeous park but disappointed with roads around some of park and some sort of carnival with teams yelling & cheering. Found some beautiful quite spots.

Sunday drums are fun

Beautiful park, but dont confuse this with the gardens bearing the same name.

Great out door

Lovely quiet place, nice people to answer questions.

Nice hiking and running trails and fun to explore the creek. This is a good connector between Rock Creek and Glover Archbold trail.

Beautiful park tucked in between gorgeous embassies, but spacious enough to make you forget where you are.

Perfect place to unwind and take a breath from the city

Spiritual

Great place to trail run

Great for hiking and dog walking.
