Nice little park by Key bridge, too bad it's in that pretentious Georgetown area of DC.
This is a small but beautiful park. However, I've noticed several mentally ill homeless people live around its vicinity. I've seen them shout at and harass passerby on multiple occasions. Difficult to enjoy the park's beauty in peace!
This memorial is located in Washington DC after crossing key bridge from Rosalyn. It is close Ukraine Embassy. Beautiful place with plants and benches to sit and relax. Hiking C&O canal trail next to the memorial.
Tranquil place with benches. Vegetation around this memorial makes this place cooler. It was flowering all over during the early spring month.
Calling all you folks that think they are important because they live in Georgetown:
If you have not spent the 15 minutes to read the history here, you are missing out. So get your latte drinking butts up to this end of the street

2nd most amazing park for hangouts with local street bums, including myself. amenities available Starbucks across the street and Dixie Liquor each caddy corner to the park when facing M st
There is a small public space along 34th and M in Georgetown known as the Francis Scott Key Memorial Park. This is a small area of public ground that was dedicated as a city park in 1993. You can walk through and all in 2-3 minutes.
Here you find two split colonnades with vines and foliage, creating a nice bit of shade. There are three information panels providing historical accounts of these area, information about Francis Scott Key and how the Star Spangle banner came to be. There is also a commemorative bust of Francis Scott Key.
The park was full of pink rose bushes which were in bloom during my May visit, making this a neat place during that time. The famous Georgetown (D.C.) Cupcakes is one block away. This could be a good spot to rest your feet and enjoy a cupcake.

The Francis Scott Key Memorial is a lovely little park near the end of Georgetown. It's a nice, but small area with a few shady spots to sit down. Good spot to relax on a bench away from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown's main street.
