context_page_description: Navy Yard–Ballpark is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Green Line. The station is located in the Navy Yard/Near Southeast neighborhood of Southeast, with entrances on M Street at Half Street and New Jersey Avenue.
context_section_description: Originally named simply Navy Yard for the nearby Washington Navy Yard, the station was renamed Navy Yard–Ballpark on November 3, 2011, reflecting the 2008 opening of Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team.  The construction of the US Department of Transportation office complex and the $600 million Nationals Park have spurred rapid growth in the neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood's land and businesses have been purchased by companies and is currently being developed into commercial and residential projects. The area plans to contain 12 million to 15 million square feet (1,400,000 m²) of office space, 9,000 residential units, 1,200 hospitality rooms, 800,000 square feet (74,000 m²) of retail space, four public parks, and an Anacostia Riverwalk trail system.
