    Rose Park is a wonderful spot to stop-- convenient to Georgetown (east side), Dupont, and the West…read moreEnd. A great place to kick back and enjoy the beauty that DC has to offer. - Dog friendly: Rose Park is incredibly dog friendly, so if you dislike dogs, maybe...avoid? Haha! Luckily, most of the folks go go regularly, myself included, enjoy the pup presence! Feel free to take your pup off leash for a little run (if they are behaved). Just bring some bags to pick up after your pooch, as the park often runs out. - 2 Separate Playgrounds! Rose park features two playgrounds, one enclosed by a gate, and the other a bit more open. Both are utilized heavily by kiddos. I think that the enclosed playground is perhaps better suited to younger kids, and the more open playground is more appropriate for kids a little bit older. - Recently repaved running trail: There is a paved trail on one side of the park, great for running and connecting back to the nearby Rock Creek Parkway - View of Georgetown Row-houses: Rose Park offers a beautiful view of row houses that sit along the surrounding streets. Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, it is a great escape from the business of M street, and convenient to get to! - Meetings with neighbors and friends! Rose park is a great spot to speak to DC locals, and one of the few places where you encounter a true sense of neighborhood community. The population in Georgetown often tends to be a little older than other parts of DC, so folks have been coming to meet up with their friends in Rose park for many years. When the weather is nice, you will see people picnicking, and there is often a weekly "Yappy Hour" held on Friday, where folks bring their pups, wine, cheese, crackers, and snack while letting the dogs run around. - Market is nearby: The Rose Park Farmers Market often happens in Summer and Fall on Wednesday evenings and is set up on the basketball courts right in the park. This is always a fun and great opportunity to support local business. - Athletic facilities: There are a variety of athletic facilities set up in the park: 2 Tennis courts, a Basketball court, and a racquetball court as well! - Breathtakingly Beautiful Trees-- especially in the fall: The Ginko Trees that line the park make this a spectacular spot in the Fall. The trees are a VIBRANT yellow the likes of which I have not seen even when I lived in the northeastern states. The picture I took was actually taken mid-December of this past year, it was just stunning. - Cons: - Not so much a critique of the park, but please be careful not to step on the Ginko berries-- the trees drop them. The folks living around the park kindly do their best to sweep them off the sidewalks, but there are often so many, and when you step in them, they burst and produce a vomit-like smell, which will definitely make your shoes smell unpleasant!

    Apple Maps led me to this shortcut to the P St Bridge from Ladurée in Georgetown as I was heading…read moreto the Phillips Collection in DuPont. The walk from Ladurée to The Phillips was only 1.1 miles, so I thought I'd walk it even though it was in the 80s. Rose Park was shaded and quiet, so it was pleasant walk through the park. I wish the path was all shaded. :) The trail needs to be repaved and it's not very wide but it was a nice respite from the heat. It's a nice park with basketball and tennis courts, a baseball diamond and a couple of playgrounds. This park was created for African American children in the 1910s and was the first desegregated playground in DC when Georgetown neighborhood kids started playing there as well. If you find yourself needing a break from the cobbled and crowded streets of Georgetown, take your coffee and food to this park and relax.

    What a great library! I'm so excited to have it so close to our new home. It has a great children's…read moreselection which is number one in my book. We were able to get Set up with a library card in no time. I just asked of the front desk and minutes later the card was in my hand. My son was very happy to find Lego books, Berenstein books, curious George books, Star Wars books and many others! Also, there's an indoor play area for the younger ones which is great to have! Just outside is a terrific playground! It's mostly fenced in which is helpful. There are no swings, but there is plenty to climb and spin around on and slide down!

    Since I'm new to area one of my errands was getting library and rec center cards. Fortunately for…read moreme, you can do both things in one place. The Rec Center: Overall, I liked the layout of the rec center, and the folks that helped with getting a card were SUPER friendly and helpful. While I have not officially used the rec center, I was a bit disappointed with the the size of the weight room. The size of the weight room reminds of a weight room that one would find in a hotel. However, the gym did look like it had everything that one would need for a decent workout. Also, I was a bit surprised that the rec center does not open until 9 am on weekdays (and Saturday). Based on my prior rec center experiments, I'm used to rec centers opening from 5:30 to 7 am. Then again, perhaps, these hours are for the summer months. The Library: Again, the librarian who signed me up for a card was very friendly. Also, I loved how she gave me a very thorough overview of this branch's services and resources. Although I was in the library for only a few minutes, I thought it was very well organized.
