Reviews

  • Austin Graff

Rawlins Park is a small park to the west of the White House and easy to miss. There's a statue of Rawlins himself looking toward the pool of water in the park. Along the edge of the park are benches to relax on or enjoy your lunch when the sun is out. This small, unknown park becomes famous every year during the cherry blossom festival. Bright pink blossoms emerge and on a sunny day, it's one of the best photo opportunities of DC in the spring. Icing on the cake is there's no crowds unlike the Tidal Basin during the cherry blossoms.

  • Peter Smyth-Hammond

Neat park located in the middle of the East bound and West bound roadways of E St., West of the White House grounds. Would be great for a picnic, but there not much here, and the proximity of the homeless camp make it less appealing as the encampment grows. Closed 9PM to 8AM.

  • Michael Bowler

Always get a ticket when I park on the streets around rawlins and theres a huge homeless problem. Which wich is great if you're hungry and broke. Which wich is great if you aren't either of those things

  • mary sharbatz

Fairly bland and empty place with currently drained ponds. Nice place to stop during the magnolia bloom. The park is lined with saucer magnolia trees, so it turns very pink for a limited time!

  • Tyler Larsen

Trees are beautiful. Squirrels are aggressive, so guard your food closely. Turns into a public bath after dark when the fountains are on, so shield your child's eyes.

  • Francina Thomas

This is very nice park in the middle of downtown DC. There are plenty of park benches, which makes it a wonderful place to walk, relax, or have lunch.

  • Jaggy Crazy

Nice place with enough sitting space. Are you on a coffee break and needed a place to relax and smoke a cigarette of just sit, here is the place.

  • Ambar Pathak

The full blooms are gone already but this is a real nice and peaceful place amidst all the surrounding traffic with good quick eats shops nearby

  • Danny Patno

The park was empty of all equipment and water, and any playground equipment for Children to play on. It was filthy and not well kept at all.

  • Mac Daddy

There hasn't been a stabbing nearby for weeks, the smell of the homeless camp in the summer is particularly aromatic in 90-degree weather.

  • roel g

Fountains not flowing, seems neglected. Few homeless folks sitting around. One couple who appeared to not be homeless. Lots of benches.

  • alfahad91

A nice small park especially in the cherry blossom season. The Chinese Magnolia trees blossom quite early on, early march in 2023.

  • Michael Dowdy

There is no water in the fountain, The rodents at night run the park, The homeless sleep and bathe outside in the park

  • eric madison

Nice little park to relax during lunch break. No food or drinks are allowed but it is smoker friendly.

We were able to park here and find 3 Lime scooters to ride to the Mall. We fully enjoyed the day!
