Cool park to visit and have a drink & picnic with friends. Seems like that’s the deal there. They also have a Sunday drum circle so that’s always cool to go to and heal the soul.
Other than that not sure if they ever hold events there to make money cause the water fountains are off. They also need a gardener/ grounds keeper. This place has more potential. Maybe even getting some food venders. They had a bathroom so that’s extremely convenient also.
Looks like people also hold yoga classes. Probably Other things too.
Good park. Joan of arc statue was fantastic! However, James Buchanan was a terrible, terrible man and a terrible terrible president and maintains a statue there , what’s up with that???? not to mention the cherry blossoms! Lighting could be better, didn’t have a picture of this park so I included a reference park that exists in Clover Park, so don’t be confused by the picture that does not represent Meridian Park, thanks
This place is peaceful and beautiful but you should visit it early, 7pm latest so that you have a good view of the scenery because they don’t have lights here.
Amazing park in DC!
This is a great park to go for a walk, sit on a bench and read a book; have a picnic (plenty of space; even in the shade) or hang a hammock from the various trees.
There are always many dogs and families, people doing yoga and playing sports and don’t miss out the drum circle on Sundays!
There were a lot of activities happening at the park on the day I visited. The park has multiple levels and it seemed as though something was happening differently on each level. Attendees were walking dogs, sun bathing, reading books, playing soccer and someone was conducting a dance class. It was a very comfortable and relaxing environment. I would recommend this part to people of all ages.
