  Picnic tables, playground, lots of large trees! This park is between the neighborhood and the Dumbarton oaks forest, so it feels peaceful and tucked away from the busy city. The playground is distant from the road. Many people walk their dogs here.

  It's well over half a century since I was at this quiet, shady, spacious park, growing up in Washington, but I know people still treasure it. My memories of walking as a child with my mother are still a source of delight. I particularly loved the playground equipment, made the way it used to be made, of wood and metal in natural tones rather than the garish bright plastic of today. If you come from some distance to get to the park, you might want to combine the trip with a visit to Dunbarton Oaks right "next door" and/or Georgetown. That's wwhere we lived at the time I was a child, and I remember how pleasant it was to traipse block after block over the old red brick sidewalks. Even back then, I had a sense of history as we walked to the park. How much more for today's children if before coming to the park they were told a little about life in the bustling surrounding area that was Georgetown of the 18th and 19th Centuries. I've heard the tennis courts are in bad shape these days, but the main reason for going to Montose Park is what it offers as a park, a bit of nature in the city. And perhaps a chance for dog owners to meet up!

  Lovely little park, had a nice swing set and playground area, as well as beautiful gardens.
