Constitution Gardens
Constitution Gardens is a 50-acre park located in Washington, D.C., United States. It is situated between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, and is part of the larger National Mall. The park is managed by the National Park Service.
History
Constitution Gardens was dedicated in 1976 as a living legacy to the American Revolution and the United States Constitution. The land was originally submerged beneath the Potomac River and was dredged at the beginning of the 20th century by the Army Corps of Engineers. It served as a part of the Navy Yard and later as a temporary office building complex for federal workers during World War II, known as "Main Navy" and "Munitions" Buildings.
Features
The park features a large pond that has an island at its center, which is accessible via footbridge. The island is home to the Memorial to the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence, a tribute to the original signatories of the United States Declaration of Independence. The park is also a popular spot for picnicking, jogging, and bird watching.
Flora and Fauna
Constitution Gardens is home to a variety of plant and animal species. The park is landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, including cherry trees, dogwoods, and azaleas. The pond is home to ducks, geese, and other waterfowl, as well as fish and turtles.
Future
The Trust for the National Mall has planned a revitalization of the park, including improved landscaping, more amenities, and better pedestrian access.
