Marion Park, located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, is a popular public park known for its charming walkways and lush vegetation. Originally laid out in 1791 as an open reservation, the park underwent significant development in the late 19th century and was officially designated as a formal public park. Despite its historical significance, the park faced racial segregation during the era of Jim Crow, with alterations made to restrict and regulate the use of the park by black residents. Today, Marion Park continues to provide a serene and recreational space for visitors of all ages.
