An open space lacking spatial definition ideal for a new infill development
Too much traffic Sunday to go to the Tidal Basin and Haines Point to see the cherry blossoms, so I turned around and went up 395 through the tunnel to Capitol Hill. Wound up parking on the north side of the Senate Park on the street. Plenty of parking, few people, beautiful cherry trees, lots of benches. Nice alternative to the Tidal Basin. Across the street is the memorial apologizing for internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, well worth a visit.
Just reopened from an extensive renovation and looking FRESH!
Three water features:
1. I love the high-energy, aggressively barfing lion fountain up top
2. …but I equally love the slow going easy flowing lower level buttercup fountain. I might even like it more.
3. The duck toilet… whoops I mean reflecting pool. It’s always Listeria green, which provides a dramatic contrast to the clear water of the other two features.
All-in-all, lower senate park is a great place to walk through or hang out for a bit.

Quiet small park in the middle of DC between Union Station and the Capitol Building. Beautiful trees and plump friendly squirrels.
Peaceful as it can be considering where it is. Friendly squirrels and birds. It's a little park.

Very chill, quiet, colourful and well kept park with plenty of benches. I love to get some work done or read a bit here.
As I've written in my other reviews of the neighborhood, it doesn't cut it to just walk up to the Capitol building and take a pic and go. The whole area is gorgeous and splattered with little places to go see. One such is the Senate park. In particular, there's an absolutely fantastic - relatively lesser known - fountain here called the Senate Fountain. It's right on your way to the Capitol. Surprisingly, many people miss it. So take a pause. Look at this gorgeous structure!
It should be on your holiday cards!
