Nice quiet spot to walk in the shade. There are some benches if you want to eat outside. There is a small parking lot near Taylor Avenue and Rowe Boulevard.

Our first visit to Theater J through a Folger Theater subscription and we saw Nathan the Wise. We loved the production and plan to return. We weren't able to park in their small lot so we parked across from Whole Foods in the 24 hour garage. We had brunch at Iron Gate before the play.
