Franklin Park

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.

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.

Great, safe park near city center D.C. to eat lunch outside when at the office or catch some greenery for sore eyes that have been looking at the screen too long. Park staff keeps it very clean. There are tables & chairs, benches, & other places to sit.

Really enjoyed chilling in this park during sunset. Super clean and well maintained. Feels like a mini escape in the middle of the city.

Great outdoor space. Very kids friendly. There are some tables that locals use to eat or just take in the sun. Plenty of other seating area. Landscape is very nice.

Always drove this past this park and wanted to have a picnic here. Grabbed some lunch from a near by restaurant with my daughter and sat down. Great location in the city. It wasn’t busy midday during August. (Fairly hot outside) One thing I will warn visitors is that there is sacristy of shade in this area.

A very nice and well-kept park. Went there for juneteenth celebration. They had a very enjoyable event going.
