Overview
Meridian Hill Park (also called Malcolm X Park) is a historic 12-acre park in northwest D.C. designed in early 20th-century Italian Renaissance garden style, with cascading fountains, terraces, and classical sculptures. Its monuments include the only equestrian statue of Joan of Arc in the U.S., the James Buchanan Memorial, and a Dante statue. It is managed by the National Park Service with Rock Creek Park, and its Sunday drum circles are a local tradition. It is open daily during daylight hours.
