    Some education material. Nice clean Park. Could have written more information about Park. I did enjoy what was available. Kids playgrounds were nice. Two areas to play besides large open area.

    Great playground for a 2yo! The gate does latch but it almost closes. Lots of shade and plenty of seating.

    This is one of the best parks to go trick and treating during around. The houses in East capital street takes Halloween very seriously.

    Great park in a beautiful neighborhood. Jogged here during a busy time of the day and the park was coming to life nicely after winter. My favorites are the sculptures to Lincoln and McLeod Bethune.

    A real local neighborhood staple, and the favorite of all three of our kids. It’s a great place to get together with your family, bring your dog, or organize a birthday party (at least as long as the weather is nice). Unfortunately, the children’s playground is getting a little bit longer in the tooth, and could benefit from some TLC.

    Nice park but no restrooms. Doggie play area could use a fence but all of the dogs there on that day was well behaved. A few picnic tables would be nice. Concerned that a distracted driver might drive into the park.

    Lincoln Park is a wonderful and large park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It's always lively with folks from the neighborhood and there's so much lovely and well-tended green space it never feels crowded. There are designated fenced in playgrounds for small children and a rectangular field where many people let their dogs loose. My partner also loves to run here as two laps in the track around the park is a mile almost exactly.

    Lincoln Park was a really nice park for kids. It had two playgrounds. One for the big kids and one for the little kids. I attended a birthday party at the park. The atmosphere was very pleasant and kid friendly. Also I think it's a dog park too.

    I love the park. It a big open area for you to exercise with friends and your furry buddies. You can setup and parties and gatherings. The only thing they don’t have is restroom. The playground is closed in for your little munchkin with benches to feel comfortable and safe while they play.

    Nice park. There'a great coffee shop in one corner

  • 5/5 Darien E. 10 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    I absolutely adore frequenting this splendid locale, not only for the delightful picnics but also for the serene moments spent immersed in captivating literature, leisurely strolls along nature's pathways, invigorating jogs that enliven the senses, and an array of delightful activities that one could possibly envision partaking in within the embrace of a picturesque park. The sheer joy that emanates from every visit is truly immeasurable, as the ambiance exudes a harmonious blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and endless possibilities for recreation and rejuvenation. From savoring delectable snacks on a cozy blanket amidst the shade of towering trees to losing oneself in the enchanting pages of a captivating book, each visit to this sanctuary of serenity nurtures the soul and invigorates the mind. The park, with its expansive green spaces, vibrant flora, and shimmering waters, offers an oasis of respite from the bustling city life, allowing one to reconnect with the simple pleasures of existence and bask in the embrace of nature's magnificence. In the embrace of this haven, time seems to pause, granting an opportunity to revel in the essence of life itself. With every step, every breath, and every moment spent here, the heart is filled with gratitude for the treasures bestowed by this haven of blissful retreat. Truly, this park is an embodiment of harmony, a testament to the wonders of the natural world, and an eternal source of solace and inspiration for all who seek solace in its embrace.

    Beautiful park in winter.. .

  • 5/5 Rich M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park for adult gathering. Kid areas are not great. Main area is for dogs to play and jungle gyms are limited.

  • 4/5 Lutherina W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice dog park but no contained areas so your dog must have some home training. Plenty of doggie fun was going in with sticks and balls being fetched. Could use a watering area and restroom. Busy location with some parking spots.

  • 4/5 Richard M. 8 months ago on Google
    Wow!!very clean park family atmosphere also pet owners walk there dogs there kids play just a nice neighborhood park

  • 5/5 Mikel L. 1 year ago on Google
    If you live on the east end of the hill thus is your park. If you own a dog this is where you bring it to socialize. If you have a nanny this is where she brings your prodigy. This is a true community park large enough to give everyone room to themselves

  • 4/5 Karla L K. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of big, shady trees. Quiet places to sit and relax as well as spots for interaction with others. Dog friendly too!

  • 5/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local hangout for families. Plenty of lawn with grass for playing and picnics. There is a fenced playground for small kids. There's an area in the middle without much grass where people come with their dogs and sometimes let them off the leash when they are good. Very friendly park.

  • 5/5 Uncle P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to take your dog. Or just relax. Beautiful neighborhood park. There is a problematic statue in the center square of Lincoln with a newly freed slave still in shackles but with broken chains kneeling at Lincoln's feet. I believe it is slated for removal. I hope so. We found it offensive. If Lincoln is to be immortalized in bronze along with a freed man, they should be standing face to face. Not with a grovellingly grateful African American man kneeling before him. There was no equality there.

  • 4/5 Lucian Y. Grove I. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great space in an increasingly wonderful and safe neighborhood. The only negatives worth mentioning are 1) there are frequently to many local tourists (folks from other neighborhoods crowding out locals), and 2) the statue of Lincoln is ... let's just say "a product of its time."

  • 4/5 Tiffany L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice open space near Eastern market, with some magnificent trees. It doesn't have tables and the grass seems to have died off quite a bit over the summer. It can be difficult to choose a place to sit without preplanning by bringing a blanket.

  • 5/5 Corey G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good park. The dogs tend to chew up the grass in the center, but overall great for walking on a nice day.

  • 5/5 Dan C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really interesting vibe at this park. Lots of people and dogs but not crowed. Very enjoyable

  • 5/5 D S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty big park, 2 monuments to look at, and plenty of sidewalks and paths to walk around. There's a playground, small cafe/bakery on the corner, and even when it's busy it's easy to navigate or find an open bench, lots of space. Great for a walk or a run.

  • 5/5 Rodney N. 1 year ago on Google
    I was born in my house one block from Lincoln Park on Independence Ave. SE. I took my wife there to reminisce on our old community and the fun we had there in the 50's, 60's, 70's. Awesome memories even today!! Yes we do support the removal of the Lincoln Statue. It's about time. 🤔😉

  • 5/5 Emily D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lincoln Park is a wholesome, often forgotten park within DC that has my heart! With close proximity to Eastern Market and other Capitol Hill spots, it’s perfect for Post Brunch, a leisure stroll or to lay down and enjoy some time in nature.

  • 5/5 Nora L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park but please note this is NOT A DOG PARK! You must leash your pet, it’s the law. We all love dogs but let’s please keep this a place for all to enjoy, it is one of the most beautiful places in the city.
