Constitution Gardens - Park in Washington - Constitution Ave. NW, USA

It is a nice garden to walk around or rest on a grass. You can see the Washington Monument from here. Also, it is right next to the Lincoln Memorial. There is a pond that living creatures live. I like the view of Washington Monument pictures from this place more than in front of the Reflecting pool.

This beautiful garden and memorial to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence is on land that was actually under the Potomac. The memorial itself consists of the names and granite signatures of the signers. The beautiful area, reminiscent of the surrounding wetlands, provides a nice park atmosphere to relax and contemplate these nascent american leaders and their role in the creation of this great country.

Constitution Gardens is the perfect place to walk, bike, jog and enjoy the peaceful nature of the area. It gives visitors a nice break from the noise and stress of city life.

There are a lot of great locations on the National Mall for wedding and engagement portraits, but Constitution Gardens might well be the best one. It gives you the main thing you want when you do a photoshoot on the Mall -- glorious views of DC's most famous landmarks. From the island in the middle of Constitution Gardens' pond, you can see the Washington Monument rising in the background nearby. At the same time, this location gives you a nature-y vibe that you don't get elsewhere. The aforementioned island has a really lovely willow tree that gives a bit of shade and adds a splash of color to the portraits. There's also a few cherry blossom trees not far from the pond, so you have the option of including those in your photos in the spring. Overall a great spot for wedding and engagement pictures! Please note that because the National Park Service administers this land, permits are required for all commercial photoshoots.

Fun for the family... No activities, but it's a nice place for a walk if you can find a parking spot.

This is a beautiful park with a pond, ducks, birds and other wildlife plus benches to sit and relax so you can take in the peaceful scenery. This gem is hidden right in the open between the Washington monument and the reflecting pool. If you walk along the sidewalk you will bypass it but it can be seen from the sidewalk and holds more than what the eye can see from there. I definitely suggest checking out.

Let me start by saying I'm posting a review solely for those looking for insights about portrait photography at this location! Our photography team (LVERphoto.com) loves photographing couples here. It is an often-overlooked spot for photos because there are so many exciting, iconic spots right nearby but we find that this is a perfect secondary option for couples wanting the classic DC monuments photos! There is rarely anyone else around, and if there are people, its just a few. The pond is lovely and there are pretty trees all around! If you're a photographer or couple interested in a photoshoot here, you do need to apply for and obtain a photography permit from the NPS. You should apply at least 2 weeks in advance, because their processing time is a minimum of 2 weeks. It is $140, but a photographer can use that permit for a full day (so if you have multiple shoots scheduled in a day, this will cover all of them!). Overall, would highly recommend this spot! :)

Loved my visit here. Symbolic and beautiful, lot of open spaces, just an overall awesome place to visit. Take a walk, take in the views and snap memories of this country's capital. Memorial of The Great Abraham Lincoln, The Washington Monument and The Reflection Pool all are just marvelous. Do not forget to drive down the street as well to see the Smithsonian, the Capitol Building and so much more beautiful structures. Carpe Diem good people.
