Getting to New Washington Nationals Park

The Washington Nationals strongly urge you to take the Metro into the city to get to the new Nationals Park. The Navy Yard Metrorail station on the Green Line is only a half block walk to the new ballpark. There are over 57,000 parking spaces at Metro facilities. So don't worry- you can find parking! Parking is usually $5 or less, and parking is free at Metro stations on the weekends and on federal holidays. So go to a game on Saturday and Sunday- you won't have to pay for parking if you take the Metro.

Another option is to park for free at RFK Stadium in Lot 8, and take the Nats Express roundtrip shuttle to and from the game. The shuttle will begin an hour and a half before game time to and hour and a half after the last inning. It will let passengers off near new Nationals park.

If you do decide to drive into the city, there are several parking options available. Listed below are directions to the colored lots surrounding New Nationals Park. You must have a parking pass for these lots. You can buy these passes from us by clicking here, then selecting the date of the game you will be attending.
