Benjamin Banneker Park in Washington DC is a charming small park, distinguished by its tranquil fountain and scenic surroundings. Tucked away near the Southwest Waterfront, it offers a peaceful respite from the bustling city life. This park is named after Benjamin Banneker, an important African American historical figure, and it subtly honors his legacy. The park's focal point is a beautiful fountain, which provides a serene atmosphere and is a favorite spot for those looking to relax or enjoy a quiet moment. The neatly landscaped areas around the fountain are perfect for picnicking or simply soaking in the sun. Benjamin Banneker Park also features well-paved pathways suitable for walking or jogging, making it a popular destination for local residents and workers seeking a quick escape into nature during their lunch breaks or after work. Despite its small size, the park's location near other major DC attractions, including the National Mall and nearby museums, makes it a convenient stop for tourists. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or a quiet corner to enjoy some downtime, Benjamin Banneker Park is an excellent choice.

Benjamin Banneker (November 9, 1731 – October 19, 1806) was an African-American naturalist, mathematician, astronomer and almanac author. A landowner, he also worked as a surveyor and farmer. Born in Baltimore County, Maryland, to a free African-American mother and a father who had formerly been enslaved, Banneker had little or no formal education and was largely self-taught. He became known for assisting Major Andrew Ellicott in a survey that established the original borders of the District of Columbia, the federal capital district of the United States.

This park overlooks the wharf area and serves as a waypoint for this going from L’Enfant plaza and the wharf area. The park has plenty of seating, albeit rather sunny, as well as plenty of seating around a nice fountain. The park is small and stays pretty quiet. It’s named after an African American inventor and scientist who was responsible for the surveying done to create DC.

I've been coming to this park since I was in high school, that was in the early 2000s. I mention that because the park itself hasn't changed in all these years but the surrounding area has changed drastically!!!

There are no more river views (which I loved) due to the new hi-rise buildings that occupy the redeveloped Wharf... However it is still a nice spot relax and enjoy the sound and sight of the water fountain, as well as see planes take off from RR National Airport...

Also take some time to learn about Benjamin Banneker and the history of that section of Southwest DC on the...
