Garfield Park — Attraction in Washington

Despite moderate management staff turnover over the years, the team always make residents feel at home and cared for. Currently, Nolan, Myra, Frank and Demean are extremely friendly, accommodating and responsive. The building is also super dog-friendly --this is may not be for everyone, but it is definitely a dog lover haven.

Being located right at the line between busy Clarendon and the residential area, the building offers the best of both worlds. It's also a few short blocks from Metro, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and tons of restaurants and retail stores, so you hardly need a car for your immediate needs. Georgetown and Pentagon City Mall are within minutes. I can even walk to Georgetown on a good day for exercise!

Nice neighborhood park. I play VB on the sand courts there. The sand depth is shallow, so it's easy to scrape a knee/wrist/elbow on the concrete underneath when going for a dive.

Garfield Park is a great little 2 court facility, but it's still needs a lot of TLC. The cracks on the courts at this point are are an absolute safety hazard. I'm pretty sure the courts were resurfaced two years ago and they need it again. We all would appreciate the courts being cleaned off more often as well.

Now one of the net posts has rusted out and only one court is available at Garfield Park. The city needs to fix this immediately, they need to just replace the Net post.

It's truly disappointing that this great little 2 court facility is maintained...
