Nationals Park and the city's baseball culture

Nationals Park opened in 2008 as the home ballpark of Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals and hosts regular regular-season and postseason games, concerts, and community events. The Nationals won the franchise’s first World Series in 2019, an achievement that included championship celebrations tied to the team and city. The ballpark's presence has been a major factor in the redevelopment and cultural activity of the Navy Yard neighborhood.
