Rosslyn is one of a few area in the DC Metro Politan area built in the era of concrete jungle with shops and stores in the buildings or underneath the buildings. Lately many of these concrete towns have come back to nature. The Freedom Park is one example of creating and developing garden and park in the middle of buildings. Freedom park is an elevated park located between the two Rosslyn iconic and landmark buildings. Visitors can sit and eat lunch, look over the Potomac Rivers, or play games provided in the park.

Roslyn's urban planning which created much of the area in the 1980s was not successful - the area is a concrete canyon. Freedom park, however, is a great respite if you happen to be stuck in Rosslyn (and for some reason not walking across Key Bridge to Georgetown) or Memorial Bridge to the National Mall. It's not a destination per se, but it's at least a nice place to chill - eat a deli lunch, wait for an appointment, etc. The Park is a level above street level, with no bikes or skateboards allowed. The landscaping is gorgeous and meticulously maintained. There is lots of seating - including some covered and in the shade. There are benches along the length of the walls and tables/chairs in the patio area - also plenty of knee walls to plunk down on or for kids to scamper on. For entertainment, there's a ping pong table (durable concrete block) and an actual putting green. The clubs/balls and paddles appear and disappear at mysterious intervals - there seems to be no rhyme or reason when they'll be there. It gets warm and bright, so sunglasses and hats are nice on sunny days. Seeing Freedom Park does make you realize that New York's Highline actually had some antecedents. Freedom Park is no Highline - but there's definitely some shared DNA. Check out the history on the website below - Loop Road Bridge - Hmm... Unfortunately it's not wheelchair accessible.

This park has seen better days. It's not that it's poorly maintained it's just that there's nothing really there. It's basically just a sidewalk that's still called a park for some reason.

Good for resting. It's elevated, you can stop and rest. Other than that not much. Skateboarding takes place at times at one end too.

Not really much of a park, but a good spot for people watching and having a sandwich outside before you go on to your next attraction.
