This is a small park, but really cool. It is very close to the Capitol and creates a very stunning image in the evening as the sun begins to set in the West. There are plenty of cafe style tables and benches in the park, and there are some well-placed trees that offer pretty good shade. The information sign gives the history of the fountain, which is definitely worth a read. The garden area is planted with pumpkins, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and other seasonal vegetables. There is at least one fruit-bearing tree in the park as well, the pomegranate. While this park is definitely not a prime mover in the sites to see in DC, it is definitely a great place to stop, reflect and catch your breath!

Perfect lil park that makes taking a break from a hectic work day easy and rewarding. Tons of covered tables for lunch with some coworkers or friends, or all by yourself if you need some me time.

Small, but gorgeous park with fountain across from the US Botanic Gardens. Lovely succulent arrangements in containers surrounding the fountain area. A few benches to sit and relax.

A beautiful little fountain park hidden outside of the Rayburn Office Building. It is across the street from the Botanical Gardens.

Really nice spot open 24 hours a day with chairs, desks, and shade to relax for a little bit close by to the National mall.

Hands down my favorite place in DC. Pack a lunch and unplug or just take a book. Best kept secret in DC.
