National World War I Memorial, Public square in Federal Triangle, Washington, D.C., United States
Pershing Park occupies a 1.76-acre trapezoid space bordered by Pennsylvania Avenue, 14th Street, 15th Street, and E Street in downtown Washington, D.C.
The park opened in 1981 as part of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation's initiative to enhance America's Main Street approaching the White House grounds.
The National World War I Memorial within the park commemorates United States Armed Forces members through sculptural elements and memorial walls.
The central fountain and pond area provides a gathering space for visitors, while the surrounding gardens create separation from the urban environment.
The park features Robert White's bronze statue of General John J. Pershing, who achieved the rare rank of General of the Armies shared only with George Washington.
