Isaiah I-Say-ah Walker

A nice lil public park situated on the banks of the #anacostiariver in SE DC, near the the Nationals baseball stadium, restaurants, a boardwalk and adjoining pedestrian pier sitting just inches above the river's waters! I love the peaceful environment, the views of river and New Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge!!!

I love the new observation decks and connections to the bike trail. You can now safely walk across this bridge to get to the Navy Yard and Marine Barracks area.

I've been coming to this park since I was in high school, that was in the early 2000s. I mention that because the park itself hasn't changed in all these years but the surrounding area has changed drastically!!!

There are no more river views (which I loved) due to the new hi-rise buildings that occupy the redeveloped Wharf... However it is still a nice spot relax and enjoy the sound and sight of the water fountain, as well as see planes take off from RR National Airport...

Also take some time to learn about Benjamin Banneker and the history of that section of Southwest DC on the information boards...
