Farragut Square is a very nice, big open park in a central location. It is a peaceful and quiet place for a leisurely lunch or a walk, with great seating throughout. The square is a main place for two metro lines and a starting point for city buses. It features an interesting statue made from an old ship's anchor. The area offers a plethora of nearby eateries. A common note is that the park is often filled with homeless people, who find refuge there, sometimes causing disturbances. At night, nearby streets have clubs for adults.
Relaxing at the park was the best part of my quick trip to DC for 250. Great alternative to all the park closures.

Beautiful lunch at the park. They had live music. Games. Umbrella covered chairs. Very clean. A Beautiful day.

With entrances to the blue orange silver and redline metro stations across the street, this is probably the busiest park in downtown DC during the weekdays.
