About this adventure
Inspired by the historic Washington Canal that once traversed the area, the Canal Park Ice Rink in DC's vibrant Capitol Riverfront / Navy Yard neighborhood features a unique track-style linear path that loops gracefully around the modern glass park pavilion. Skaters glide along the sculpted refrigerated ribbon under strings of warm fairy lights with urban skyline views. Beginner skaters and children can rent skate trainers to navigate the curving ice trail safely. The surrounding LEED-Gold-certified neighborhood park offers heated outdoor benches, fire features, and steps-away access to child-friendly restaurants and bakeries along M Street. Just one block from the Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro station (Green Line), making it one of DC's most transit-accessible rinks.
