DC Preservation LeagueMarch 9, 2011The original appropriation known as President’s Park is now divided into three distinct spaces: the White House Grounds, the Ellipse, and Lafayette Square
The White HouseDecember 11, 2012The First Family flipped the switch on the National Christmas Tree, a 28-foot blue spruce lit up in white lights and topped with a yellow star. Read more
A big swath of open land that often seems more a tedious connection between the White House & Washington Monument than any sort of vista-complementing parkland.. but a good pitch for games on occasion
Markus TarjamoNovember 20, 2015Great view of the White House and also is home to the National Christmas Tree in November and December.
Yash GuptaOctober 1, 2013Due to the government shutdown, this is the best place from where to take a picture of the White House.
PayMe NoAttnJuly 17, 2011A nice place to take your significant other on a nice summer night. #bigpoints
The cops don't like people walking on the top part of the ellipse... But it's ok for them to drive all over it?
Theodore KimNovember 30, 2012Stay on the sidewalks at all time lest you get yelled at by Park Police!
Tree was not lit yet when we were they-course it was late at night and very cold, so we did not wait.
