Hains Point Picnic Area

OMG, I haven't been to Hains point in years and it was great. The upkeep of the park has been awesome. My family and I had an awesome time. We ate, fished, and had great laughs. The weather was perfect. It was so good to be able to introduce my kids to a DC old classic and it not be ruined. Now, I wish they would re-vamp the mini golf place because it needs new greens. All in all...great day at Hains Point!

Place has been pretty awesome so far. And some pretty spectacular views as you can see. Come see all DC has to offer with nature and wildlife included.

Well if you are looking for peace, this is the place. Must visit during early summer to see Cherry blossom here. This place is not much crowded as compared to the Tidal Basin Point. You can enjoy the serenity here for sure

On a sunny day, this is a great spot to hang out with ample parking. The park is beautiful and perfect for barbecues.

My first time there for a family cook out. The park is awesome! I did not have to fight off mosquitoes. The scenery is so cool. This is a place where you can relax if you just want to be alone, if you want to be with your honey or with family. The perfect spot!

What a beautiful locale for a group or family cookout! We reserved Shelter B which was a perfect spot close to the restrooms and play area for the kiddos. There are some tables available and enough trees to offer refuge from the sun. You can bring in your grills, speakers for music, chairs and enjoy. The view is an added bonus❤

Great place to view cherry blossoms. Its a truly beautiful place to visit. Its quiet peaceful and aloof from the crowds flocking DC.

Went to catch the sunset but will do some laps on my bike just not tonight.

We were blessed to have our family reunion under the shade trees at Picnic spot A. It was a 90 degree, hot summer day and the trees saved us from the heat. Great view of the airport side of the water.

This place is amazing. They a playground for kids, plenty of picnic areas. And the view of National Airport

Love this place! 5min from DC.

The MOST Peaceful place in a hectic city! Easy free parking (except for large city events like the cherry blossom festival) Beautiful view from all sides, 9 hole golf course, safe, well lit, great for walking, running 👟 and 🚲 biking! Good playground for children too. I Love this spot!

The views are beautiful and relaxing. This spot is perfect for children, families or groups. There are jungle gyms, picnic tables and public restrooms. My office had our wellness day there. It was great. There was enough parking and plenty of things for us to do: tennis, golf, kickball, run, bike, walk or rest. The kids and dogs on leashes enjoyed the play area. Great place for the price and the views. The only thing missing were hammocks! Remember to bring your grill!

If you live in the district, don't get mad, but this is by far my favorite area to find some peace in a crazy day in the Nation's Capital!!

Very nice area, beautiful scenery, nice playground for children. Never really crowded. Nice nice area, mini golf, cayak rental, boating, canoeing, fishing, bike riding, roller skating, blanket picnicking, bathrooms, slides, playground area, very Serene, nice people patronizing the park, police patrol but don't bother visitors. I take my daughter many times a week, month and year. We feed the ducks and birds and go to the playground. We watch planes take off and land on the southern side of the park. She's had fun on get bike, scooter, feeding ducks, reading books on a pic but blanket after lunch, taking pictures, waking, jogging, running, racing and having natural free fun!! Bring your child like SPIRIT. Monument visible for pics from the park area. Close to Jefferson memorial, cherry blossoms and paddle boat rental. Enjoy

The best place to fly a kite in the area on a open field next to the Potomac River where the winds blow through (where the Awakening Statue use to be), and such a beautiful sight at sunset over looking the water. I really love to take my foil power kites out there and I love spending time with my girlfriend there too. Also, there are a lot of locals who like to bring out their coolers and fish, so that is a recommendation if that is your thing. In Spring during the Cherry Blossom Festival, Hains Point is a great resting place after hiking around the Tidal Basin, just another reason to visit the area. FYI, be careful of hitting bikers around the roads.

Ths place is a favorite for me and my family. I have been going to Hains Point since I was a child and now the next generation loves going there as well. It brings up memories of good times with my my grandmother, mother and step brother who are no longer here with us. This place will always be special to me as I start new memories and fun times there with my grandson and my nieces and nephews . A place to relax enjoy each other's company and grill some delicious food.

A beautiful peninsula with the Washington channel on one side facing the wharf and on the other side of Potomac River across from national airport. It has tennis courts golf course and a mini golf course great place for barbecues walking and a nice playground for the children

Perfect place to meet family and friends.

I love running around Hains Point. The views along the water are beautiful, and for some reason it is never crowded here. It's also a great place to have a picnic or just hang out with friends. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. It can be a bit dirty along the edge of the water as this area occasionally floods and when the water recedes the trash from the Potomac River is left behind.
