Not Bored in DC

THING TO DO

Walk the thirteen-basin cascading fountain

at Malcom X/Meridian Hill Park

The centerpiece is a tiered Italian-style cascade that tumbles down thirteen basins to a reflecting pool at the bottom, recently restored after years of running dry. Sit on the steps beside it or work your way up to the upper terrace for the view back down.
