This sprawling urban park covers a peaceful 12-acre and is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in Northwest D.C.

The park’s prominent location on a hilltop makes it an ideal place to enjoy stunning views of the city, with the White House a mere 1.5 miles away.

It’s no wonder that many visitors find solace in the natural beauty of Meridian Hill Park, which has been affectionately called Malcolm X Park since 1969.

Owned by Robert Peter at the time of Washington, D.C.’s creation in 1791, this park has a rich history that is worth exploring.
