Dumbarton Oaks Park
Dumbarton Oaks Park, Historic park in Georgetown, Washington D.C., US.
The 27-acre naturalistic landscape incorporates woodland paths, stone bridges, and a flowing stream through a series of constructed waterfalls and ponds.
Robert Woods Bliss and Mildred Barnes Bliss donated the park to the National Park Service in 1940 after purchasing the estate in 1920.
Landscape architect Beatrix Farrand designed this park to create an experience of natural gardens within an urban setting during the 1930s.
Visitors enter the park through Lovers' Lane from R Street, east of 32nd Street, with access to interpretive signs and seating areas.
The National Park Service collaborates with Harvard University to maintain both the naturalistic parkland and adjacent formal gardens as complementary spaces.
