Getting to Nationals Park - Parking and Transit

(I couldn't resist this photo, but it's just gentle ironic fun, not an editorial statement.)
There are 1,325 parking spaces built on the site of the Nationals ballpark, along with numerous nearby parking lots. But the Nationals and city planners consider Metro to be the best and most acceptable method of getting to the stadium, since the Green Line's Navy Yard station is just one block from the stadium's entrance.

This map shows the expected lots and prices for the 2013 season at Nationals Park, based on the season-ticket holder and individual game parking maps at nationals.com.
Please note that prices may differ from what's displayed here--until the season begins, prices for cash lots are not confirmed. .
The Nationals also offer single-game parking, which can be purchased in advance. These lots may also be available as "cash lots," depending on expected attendance.
In 2013, the Nationals removed former lots J, M, N, and HH from the official inventory. The first three are expected to be available as cash lots; no word as of late February on the fate of the "economy" lot HH.
There are also cash lots being operated around the neighborhood near the ballpark, usually starting at around $20 per game.
For driving directions, see the official Nationals web site;
there's also an interactive trip planner to determine how to get to specific lots.

Biking to the Ballpark

According to the Nationals' Way to Go section on biking, there are more than 250 bike racks around the ballpark, and also a free bike valet, located in Red Garage C at the corner of N & 1st Street, SE. Access to the valet is on N Street just left of the entrance. The valet accepts bikes two hours before game time and will close 1 hour after the last inning.

A large Capital Bikeshare station is available at 1st and N, directly across from the bike valet. There are also stations at 1st and K and New Jersey and M. See the web site for more information on how the bikesharing program works.

Traffic Management Plans

Look closely at the Ballpark Traffic Management presentation for detailed information on:

· Mitigation attempts for potential traffic bottlenecks in congested spots before and after games;
· Where traffic control officers will be stationed;
· Where left turns will be prohibited;
· What streets will be closed;
· Where drop-off/pick-up locations will be (South Capitol Street);
· Where the post-game taxi stand will be (Half Street north of M);
· Where charter buses will be parked during games (Buzzards Point);
· Where variable messaging signs will be posted around the region;
· How traffic signals will be retimed before and after games;
· How traffic will be routed to and from the parking lots before and after games;
· Where the signed bike paths are to and from the ballpark;
· How on-street parking in areas near the ballpark will be handled (see my On Street Parking page for additional details).

Anyone who sends a message like "I'm a season-ticket holder, where is my parking going to be?" can expect to be ignored,
because I Don't Know.
