Triangle Park

A Little Urban Oasis

Right across from the north entrance of the Dupont Circle Metrorail Station, at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue NW and Q Street NW, Triangle Park (sometimes called Q Street Park) is one of those delightful pocket-sized green spaces that makes city life more bearable. It's smaller than a basketball court - but sometimes good things come in small packages.

What You'll Find

Don't expect playground equipment or sprawling fields here. Triangle Park keeps it simple with several well-placed benches where you can take a breather, unwrap your lunch, or dive into a good book when the weather cooperates. The National Park Service (NPS) maintains this modest space, ensuring it remains a clean, inviting spot amid the urban landscape.

Why It Matters

In a city that never seems to slow down, Triangle Park offers a moment of pause. It's become something of a neighborhood landmark - a convenient meeting point or resting spot for people walking or cycling through the area.

Its location near Dupont Circle means it sees a steady stream of commuters and locals throughout the day. While it won't be the highlight of your DC sightseeing tour, this tiny green space perfectly illustrates how even the smallest patches of nature can enhance city living and provide necessary breathing room in the concrete jungle.
