Washington Nationals fans who wish to attend evening and weekend home games may park their vehicles at the Washington Navy Yard or Fort McNair. A Department of Defense common access card, Retiree or Dependent ID card, and DoD vehicle decal are required for entry onto the installations for game parking.
Parking for Nationals Stadium events is available in non-reserved parking spaces outside normal working hours, after 4:30 p.m., on weekdays, as well as weekends and holidays. ;DoD members may sponsor non-DoD guests in their party. At the Navy Yard, MWR food and drink concessions will be available before the game.
Normal DoD policies restricting alcohol consumption and open containers remain in effect. ; From either installation, it’s just under a half mile walk to the stadium. ;
Spaces on both installations are limited and will be filled on a ‘‘first-come-first-served” basis — public transportation is highly encouraged for those who wish to avoid the inevitable stadium traffic.
Parking will not be allowed for games that conflict with installation work schedules, or ceremonies and special events such as the Military District of Washington Twilight Tattoos on Fort McNair, scheduled for 21 May, 4 June and 25 June.
Game goers should be careful of personal safety. ;Sports fans are advised to travel in groups.
