A great place to take a stroll anytime of the year. Sip a coffee or snack on something from one of the many surrounding restaurants. I love reading a book on a bench near the fountain. Classic DC.
Go in the spring/summer for the great drum circle. Nice view of the nation's capital. Nice place in the city for a picnic.Waterfall and fountain is unique.
The only wadding pool around for both children and adults alike. This is the perfect park to enjoy a picnic and dip your toe into the fountain for a chance to cool off on a hot summer day. Read more.
A great air-conditioned and daylit space for hot or lousy weather. Big marble bench/planters you can climb on and tables and chairs. A pricy but good cafe, and a sometimes-on splash fountain.
