Yards Park rill and cascading water features

Yards Park on the Anacostia River includes a long sloping rill and shallow cascades that form an interactive water feature used by visitors for wading and public events. The park's waterfront plaza and terraced water channels create a series of small waterfalls and reflecting pools that run toward the river. The water features are a signature element of the Capitol Riverfront waterfront redevelopment and are maintained as part of the park's public amenities.
