Fun Facts

The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., who also contributed to the design of the National Mall and the U.S. Capitol Grounds.

Lower Senate Park was established in 1929 to provide a formal garden setting for the Senate Office Buildings, reflecting the Beaux-Arts style popular at the time.

The park is home to the Fountain of Neptune, a classical-style fountain that adds a touch of elegance to the landscape.

Lower Senate Park is strategically located just north of the U.S. Capitol, serving as a green space for both visitors and government employees.

Lower Senate Park is included in the Capitol Hill Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
