Tucked into Georgetown at 34th and M Streets, NW, this 0.77-acre park and memorial sits beside the northeast corner of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and runs along the C&O Canal Towpath. Though managed by the National Park Service as part of Rock Creek Park, it is not connected to that park. Established in 1993, the site honors the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
