Constitution Gardens is a 50 acre park area in Washington DC within the boundaries of the National Mall! The 50-acre (200,000 m2) park is bounded on the west by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, on the east by 17th St NW, on the north by Constitution Avenue, and on the south by the Reflecting Pool. Coordinates: 38°53′27″N 77°2′40″WConstitution Gardens has a small pond, which contains an island open to pedestrians. I love this location for it’s perfect view of The Washington Monument and low tourist traffic! Compared to being directly at the Lincoln Memorial or other sites, this area tends to be much less busy! I have photographed at least a dozen surprise proposals here!
