There is a small public space along 34th and M in Georgetown known as the Francis Scott Key Memorial Park. This is a small area of public ground that was dedicated as a city park in 1993. You can walk through and all in 2-3 minutes.Here you find two split colonnades with vines and foliage, creating a nice bit of shade. There are three information panels providing historical accounts of these area, information about Francis Scott Key and how the Star Spangle banner came to be. There is also a commemorative bust of Francis Scott Key.The park was full of pink rose bushes which were in bloom during my May visit, making this a neat place during that time. The famous Georgetown (D.C.) Cupcakes is one block away. This could be a good spot to rest your feet and enjoy a cupcake.

Want a wonderful walk way across the bridge, such beautiful scenery!

One of the most historic places in DC.

Used to be great. Now it is just a pothead park. Sad indeed.

Thought users of Google Maps might want to see some old photos of the C & O Canal and related structures. Many of these photos I am posting are from Civil War era (including Mathew Brady/Levin Handy, Library of Congress) to early 20th century. The photos were compiled in the book, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, Old Picture Album by Thomas F. Hahn.This photo shows the home of the Key family located near the Francis Scott Key Memorial. Interesting that the Keys left the house because of the canal construction out back. They probably got tired of the bombs bursting in air ... my tongue is fixed firmly in my cheek. : )

Small clean park, nice shady spots during the summer months

A quaint little spot in Georgetown great for meeting up before hitting the shopping or bars/restaurants. Also a quick walk from Rosslyn.

Not very big, but some nice shade after crossing key bridge in the hot summer sun. Water fountain hasnt worked for past couple of years. Hope its fixed soon.

Very good bridge!

The Francis Scott Key Memorial is a lovely little park near the end of Georgetown. Its a nice, but small area with a few shady spots to sit down. Good spot to relax on a bench away from the hustle and bustle of Georgetowns main street.

Not much to see

Nice and quiet place to sit and relax

Thats what takes me to georgetown. I dont know what google expects me to rate a bridge for and write what in the review :-P

Nice little park at a junction of recreational paths

What a delightful little park! Sat here on a cool summer afternoon with a book in one hand and a cold brew in the other. 5 out of 5, would visit again.

Interesting place to stop along Georgetown Waterfront walk. Has information about National Anthem, Key Bridge dedication, and the Ukrainian Embassy. All outdoor.

Georgetown Oasis. A perfect place for shade on a warm summer day

Nice little park. Good entry/exit point to the trail along the canal.

Offers lovely shade after a long walk..

Very walkable

Nice little park near the bridge. Travel south along the east side of the park, cross the footbridge, angle a bit to your left, and take the steps down to reach the waterfront.

My beautiful wife Jenny literally put this place on the Map! Not to be missed.

Nice place

Lovely place to see

Nice little place to rest. However, if you have time, it is better to walk to the waterfront.

The whole place is covered in garbage. It used to be a beautiful place to visit. :(
