Nationals Park
From the upper deck on the first base side, the Washington Monument and the Capitol dome hang over the outfield — a skyline no other ballpark can match.

Completed in 2008 as the first LEED-certified green major professional sports stadium in the United States, Nationals Park sits on the Anacostia River waterfront in Navy Yard. It hosted the 2018 All-Star Game — the first in D.C. since 1969 — and World Series games in 2019, the first played in the federal district since 1933.
What to look for
- The Washington Monument and Capitol Building framing the field, visible from the upper decks on the first base side
- Navy Yard–Ballpark station on the Green Line, one block from the center field entrance — the main transit artery on game day
- The Anacostia River waterfront along South Capitol Street, the main artery the stadium faces
Take the Green Line to Navy Yard–Ballpark station (one block, center field entrance); parking near the stadium is limited.
