"Once an encampment for Union troops during the Civil War, 12-acre Meridian Hill Park is now a central gathering space for friends and fitness enthusiasts. Running groups, yoga classes, and personal training sessions all meet at this urban hilltop park, no matter the season. Stroll around the perimeter to admire the 13-basin, Italian-style cascading fountain—the longest in North America—as well as statues commemorating figures such as Joan of Arc. In fair weather, join the hundreds who flock here over the weekends for picnics, impromptu sporting matches, and dog walking (and watching), as well as the Sunday drum circle whose rhythms have been sounding into the night since the 1950s."

The park was underwhelming since the fountains were shut off even as the weather warms up and instead there was graffiti. On the other hand, it has some decent views of Washington D.C during sunset.

I could post more photos, but here’s a few recent. This park is central between Dupont Circle and U st and south from Columbia heights/16th st. It’s a great spot to meet friends. Sundays are drum circle day. Just go for a walk, meet a friend, sit and enjoy!

Love Meridian Hill! as a photographer I love taking my couples to shoot their portraits here. Coming here to check out the fountains and the drum circles are awesome as well.

This is amazing place for anybody that wants to come check out a piece of History. There's plenty of nooks and crannies for privacy, but also to connect with people. I love the area and where it's located right in the middle of chaos. It's a nice, peaceful place to get fresh air. I would highly recommend it to anybody and there's also a statue of Dante!!!!!

Beautiful park. Makes you feel like your on a mansion property. Beautiful view of the nature and somewhat of the city.

The place is good for walking, you just need to pay more attention to cleaning the local signs for people to pay attention to removing their dog's feces. put more grams in the missing parts. And I don't know if it's because it's spring or it doesn't work. But there should be water so that the place is more beautiful and people can enjoy the beauty of the place.

A great place for summer strolls and picnics in DC. Urban skating location in the dried up fountain bank.

Meridian Park is another DC-forgotten open space in the middle of NW and it is an impressive walking beauty. Today's a dog paradise, but unfortunately filled with garbage, used as a public restroom, and invaded with rats due to uncolected garbage. The park's information has been vandalized, the sculptures are falling apart and the pool is inoperable and a living testament to how the city abandoned public spaces. Still a good place to walk away!!
