Don’t miss this beautiful park in DC! During summer you can enjoy free concerts during lunch time

A custodial staff member of the park thought it was opportune to interrupt my outing to tell me how I’m supposed to sit at the park, that I “can’t lay on the benches.” Apparently laying strewn on the ground across a picnic blanket is fine. Blaring music on a speaker is fine. Unnecessarily intrusive. I pay DC taxes, so I ought to be able to sit and lay on the public amenities I pay for in the way my body wants to. I hadn’t any shopping cart full of soiled clothes with me, no tent, I’m not unkept or dirty, so city officials out to train their staff to look for context clues. Unacceptable. I won’t be back so long as the red shirt goons continue to mill around feeling oh so entitled to interrupt what WAS a peaceful outing.

I attended a Meetup social called Art in the Park and brought my painting supplies and easel. The sun was strong on this moderately cold day and the sounds of the water fountain were soothing. A picture perfect day for creating with new friends. While I miss the large trees and ancient architecture of the old park, I do enjoy its pristine pathways and more raised land. The old park seemed to dip a little deeper and was more of a climb to get back to street level. There's a designated area for kids to enjoy and a state of the art restrooms. I always enjoy the free music festivals in the summer and partaking in the Art in the Park in the fall was a spectacular time.

pretty green place near the museum of Women in Arts. clean and nice, has place for picnic. they have some light decorations for christmas as well.

Peaceful and relaxing environment. Perfect for picnic or evening walk. There is also music bands sometime and it’s close to the metro station.

Strolling through Franklin Park on my way from the metro to Planet Word was a nice alternative to sidewalks. Well kept and pleasant. There are lots of benches and a small play area. This isn’t a big park but it will be a nice place for people to gather before and after visiting Planet Word at the Franklin School. Several restaurants with take out in the area and a good size for small groups to find each other make a good meeting point. It was clean, felt safe, and had a pleasant vibe.

The benches are mossy and old which is very cute but not great if you have a disability / need to sit. Has a cool view of the road towards the capitol and monument.
