Very basic outdoor space next to a huge police parking lot and an empty park filled with overflowing garbage pails and trash everywhere. No other dogs were there. They did have a working water fountain for the dogs!
Nice, quiet, and clean. Good sized city dog park with separation for large and small dogs. Perfect for my older dog because it's less trafficked than other parks and he's a little too old to play rough anymore. Only big con is that it's all dirt so gets very muddy after rain or snow. There's also a mosquito problem but that's everywhere in DC. The surrounding park is gorgeous and has a little community garden area.
Nice park, no grass inside the dog area but lovely park outside. Parking is easy to miss. But street parking can be found.
Was on a vacation and this was the closest dog park to our hotel. It's not terribly large but worked for what we needed. It did have a small/large dog separation. Unfortunate that it's all dirt which leads to mud. It would be nice to have more grass. Otherwise I like the water fountain so the dogs could easily get fresh water. Also had benches if needed. Wouldn't make it a return if I had other options.
--SIZING--
Includes a big dog area & a small dog area. Both are about average size with tall fences.
--SURFACE--
Mostly gravel; some dirt/grass. There usually 1-2 holes that dogs tend to dig at.
--WATER--
Water spigot & bowl on-site. Turned off in winter.
--SHADE--
Trees provide shade over about a third of each area.
--INTERACTION--
Usually some communal balls in the big dog area, but it's otherwise rather Spartan.
--ENVIRONMENT--
A quiet park other than frequent helicopter flyovers.
--SEATING--
Two benches in each area.
--COMMUNITY--
Usually a good crowd, especially on workday late-afternoons, though there's 1 dog specifically that's often there ~4:30-5pm that tends to be prone to escalation.

Plenty of space for big dogs. A separate smaller space for either small dogs or if your dog has a tendency to play a little rough for others. Water and bags provided. However mostly dirt very little grass.
Sub-par at best. It’s sad to see, considering how many dog there are in DC, and the myriad of opportunities that they have to be able to facilitate these dogs in a fun manner. I’ve seen small towns with more entertaining parka for dogs. It really doesn’t take a whole lot of engineering to make it fun for the dogs to jump and play on different surfaces. I turned my dog out and she looked at me dazed and confused as to why I brought her to essentially a fenced in parking lot.
Disclaimer: I'm not a dog owner, but two of my good friends are and I am the "dog father" of their little pug, JJ. It's JJ that brings me to Lansburgh Dog Park in Waterfront. My friends and I live on Capitol Hill, but sometime the dog parks up there are crowded or don't have a small dog portion to the park.
Lansburgh is great because it's not as busy as other dog parks and has a section for small dogs and then another section for bigger dogs. Each portion has it's own watering hole with dog bowls.
If it rains, the dog park gets pretty muddy, but other than that, this place is a hidden gem. If you want a more quiet, less busy dog park, go here!
