A Trailside Washington Park with Free Community Events
Walk or cycle the Metropolitan Branch Trail, then pause at a neighborhood gathering spot near the NoMa metro.
🌳 Space for Community Gatherings
Alethia Tanner Park gives your walk through Washington a place to change pace. The Metropolitan Branch Trail runs directly alongside this green space, bringing joggers, cyclists, and commuters into the setting. Behind the Federal Express facility and near the SiriusXM building, the park occupies 2.5 acres at 227 Harry Thomas Way NE.
The grounds include a playground and a dedicated dog park, with a lawn and small stage that make room for neighborhood gatherings. The park regularly hosts free community events, including art installations, festivals, and live music. Check what is happening when you plan your outing, whether you are walking through or making the park your destination.
The NoMa metro is nearby, adding a transit option to a walking or cycling outing. The park is open 24 hours every day. Bring the dog, make time for the playground, or pause here between other Washington plans.
