Rawlins Park, Urban park in Foggy Bottom, Washington D.C.
The rectangular park spans 1.5 acres with marble fountains, rectangular ponds, and grass areas at different elevation levels connected by stairways.
Originally part of Hamburgh, an industrial town along the Potomac River in 1772, the park received its first improvements when John Aaron Rawlins statue arrived in 1874.
The park contains one of eighteen Civil War Monuments in Washington D.C., featuring a bronze statue of General John Aaron Rawlins facing westward.
Located two blocks west of the White House and north of the National Mall, the park provides access through stairways on all four sides.
The sodded grass and trees create distinct spaces between the terrace level and lower portion, establishing multiple environment zones within the park.
