Jim Malone: Make sure to walk behind the ridiculously awesome waterfall. Also chill on the boardwalk next to the Anacostia and revel in the fact that there's finally a waterfront park in DC worth going to.
Val Abrego: Friday night summer concerts are a blast. Free, on the waterfront and just plain beautiful views make this a must destination during the DC summer months.
The Ritz-Carlton: Yards Park is a wonderful place to picnic with children; the center-piece of the Southwest waterfront has plenty of open grassy spaces, seating areas, a boardwalk, and fountains.
Derek Jones: Newly renovated park to celebrate all the pomp of the Georgetown waterfront.
Richard Gregory: Pack a lunch, set up a picnic and watch the world go by. All year round, Georgetown's beautiful waterfront is a centre of neighbourhood entertainment so there's always something to watch.
The Ritz-Carlton: Georgetown Waterfront Park is one of the most romantic places in the city. Stroll towards the end of the canal for a perfect waterfront view and perfect proposal location!
