Westminster Park

Nice little neighborhood park but we arrived at 7:30 after taking an Uber to get here because the park closed at eight only to find that the splash pad closed at seven

Small community park, great for small kids.

small, but the best park in the area, safe, clean, with sparkling water during summer, really a good place for the little ones

This park is a water park, we were so glad to find water since it was super hot, my baby enjoyed and they have water toys.

Awesome little neighborhood park. Literally a hidden gem, tucked away between houses. The neighborhood association and City do a great job of keeping it up. It is a bit small and crowds quickly.

The biggest thing to know is that there are a number of baby and toddler cars, scooters, walkers and such toys. Those have been left there by, I'm assuming, the neighborhood association. They are free to use. We definitely spent the first five minutes explaining to our toddler "not yours" without anyone mentioning the toys were park property, before noticing that no one was taking them as they left.

There was a swing set with and adult/older child swing next to a young child swing. A fun stegosaurus themed playset with dual slides aimed at younger children is set near the entrance. A larger play set with multiple climbing features, a couple steering wheels, and a corkscrew slide is opposite the stegosaurus and for older children. There are tons of benches and even a chess setup (bring your own pieces). We went during the winter, but during the summer there is a water feature that kids can activate that last for about 2 minutes and seems like it would be cool.

If you are with someone shopping at nearby stores like Warby Parker or the others around there, this little park is a great distraction for a bored child and only a block or two away. Check it out if you are around the lower U street/9th Street area.

Westminster Playground is a small playground on Westminster in Shaw in between two rowhomes. It's gated with plenty of seating for adults. For kids, there's a playground with swings, slides and climbing equipment. Throughout the park are mosaics and a large mural by local artists.

Loved this small playground hidden in the neighborhood didnt know about it till someone nice told me to my kids. It's full of toys for kids to share and nice big shady trees keep you cool even on days the sun sizzles every living thing 😀

Really nice park for the family. We have a 5yr old and a 18month old. Lots to do for both and not over crowded
