Edward J. Kelly Park, Urban park in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., United States
Edward J. Kelly Park occupies the southeast corner of Virginia Avenue and 21st Street NW, featuring landscaped grounds and public tennis courts.
Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton designated this space in January 1959 to honor Edward J. Kelly, the former superintendent of National Capital Parks.
The bronze Discus Thrower sculpture within the park stands as a recreation of the classical Greek statue Discobolus, representing athletic achievement.
The Federal Reserve Police maintain regular patrols throughout the park grounds, ensuring visitor safety while overseeing the public tennis facilities.
In April 2011, federal employees gathered here to sing the National Anthem during a rally against potential government shutdown furloughs.
