Hi all,
I just got my permit and I’m looking for some wide open areas around DC to practice driving. Do you know any good empty parking lots or other spaces that aren’t too busy I can do this in?

Lots of people practice at the Rock Creek tennis courts.

Rock creek tennis courts off of 16th st NW, Google Carter Barron, usually nice and wide open. Good luck with your driving :)

The Anacostia Park early weekend mornings. It’s usually empty at that time. You can probably practice making left and right turns, joining a road from a stop, etc

This is the answer. People practice driving here all the time. Wide open.

The Costco in NE. Huge parking in the area.
The arboretum that’s open till 5 most days. You can drive around and get some nice views.

I see people practicing their driving in the RFK lot by Kingman Island, right off of Benning Road.

This has been asked several times. If you search the sub, there should be a few helpful previous answers.
