Battery Kemble Park 3035 Chain Bridge Road Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20016

"Went sledding here with some friends, inspired by my memories of sledding there during Snowpocalypse when I was at AU. It lived up to my rosy mems and did not disappoint! I would be a little cautious because you gain serious speed, and my friend actually hit a small tree (she’s ok!) Also, parking is limited because the path down to the lower parking lot is extremely rutted - would recommend having a higher clearance / SUV for that!"

"Great place to walk and socialize your dog in DC. Wooded trails make you forget your in the city."

"It’s a very nice park with some lovely trails along a small stream. Unfortunately it is often overtaken by irresponsible dog owners that let their dogs off leash. A dog on a leash here is rare, and it does often feel unsafe to take small children here. Many dogs do not listen to their owners when called, so this is an accident waiting to happen."

"At first, I thought this was a dog park because of the amount of dogs running loose off leash. I’m fine with that, but there are some irresponsible owners. One woman, let her dog charge me growling before she stepped on it’s long leash. She caught her dog just in time and just looked at me and said oh you must be a dog person. I gave a polite smile and kept on my way. It’s a great park and I honestly don’t mind the people who don’t find it amusing to let their animals run up, growling at strangers who are using the trails. It’s a federal park with clear leash laws signs that are not enforced. If you are not a dog person or have a small child who is afraid of dogs I’d skip. No one else was as obnoxious as that lady, but be aware that their dogs are all over the place off leash. Be very careful when pulling out of the parking lot. People are engaged in conversation and don’t call their dogs when cars are moving."
