Lincoln Park

Address: Washington, DC 20003

Shaded walking paths and a generous grassy field make Lincoln Park a pleasant place to spend time with a dog, though it's not an official dog park and leash rules technically apply. Locals have long used the main lawn as an informal off-leash area, which occasionally creates friction with other visitors. The lack of fencing has also worn down sections of the turf over time, something worth keeping in mind.
