King Street Garden Park
Near King St. Metro in Old Town Alexandria VA, King Street Gardens Park can be found at the foot of the George Washington National Masonic Memorial. The main feature of King Street Gardens is a large metal sculpture with hanging gardens.
The metal sculpture and sunken gardens are of historic aspects of the site. The abstract metal sculpture somewhat represents a plow, a ship’s prow or a colonial style 3 cornered hat, with the sunken gardens representing the wetlands. Trellised gardens were popular during the Victorian Era, and up to date the gardens relive that era. The street grid plan was originally laid out by George Washington.
