This is a park on the Washington Navy Yard. As a military installation belonging to the US Navy, it is accessible most easily to those with a DoD CAC, Uniformed ID and Privileges Card, US Government-issued ID, Federal PIV Credentials, or TWIC. If you have an escort with one of these credentials, they can take you in as well. Others must take their photo ID to the Visitor Control Center (VCC) at the primary access gate at 11th and O Streets SE (GPS address is 1022 O Street SE, Washington, DC). The VCC is open weekdays, 6:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

This is great place to relax, with benches and tables available to eat and watch the squirrels. If you’re working in the area and/or visiting the museum, I highly recommend this as a spot to rest.
