      1. Book Hill Park

         This quaint and quiet park is true to its name in that it is situated on top of a hill. With a paved path for walking and gorgeous ornamental gardens, Book Hill Park is a great place to escape, sit on a bench and study, have a picnic, go for a walk, and take in the view of Georgetown and Rosslyn.
