Anniversary Park

Anniversary Park is a green space on the George Washington University campus featuring walking paths, seating areas, gardens, and grilling stations for students and visitors. The layout connects different sections of campus while offering spots to rest and spend time outdoors.

The park opened in 1997 with a dedication ceremony led by Mayor Marion Barry to mark the university's 175th anniversary. This opening represented a significant moment in the campus development and created a new gathering space on the grounds.

The park holds memorial bricks from the class of 1996 and honors alumni lost in the September 2001 attacks with a commemorative plaque. These elements shape how visitors move through the space and reflect on the university's past.

The park is located between 21st and 22nd Street NW on F Street and is easily accessible by foot from nearby transit options. Visiting during daytime hours ensures the best conditions and easy access to all amenities and seating areas.

The park features grilling stations used by students and visitors for gatherings, adding an informal social element that many urban campus spaces lack. This feature transforms the area into more than just a transit space.
