Providence Park (Washington, D.C.)

Providence Park is a 2.4 acres (0.97 ha) urban park in the residential Capitol Hill neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C. It is bound by 2nd, 3rd, D and E streets SE. It is owned and maintained by the Architect of the Capitol, the real estate office for Congress, as part of the United States Capitol Complex.

The park is named for Providence Hospital, a Catholic hospital which occupied the square from 1866 until it moved to the Brookland neighborhood in Northeast in 1956.

Providence Park features simple landscaping. It is flat and mostly covered with manicured grass, with some trees of different sizes, sidewalks and diagonal paved paths that make an "X" shape. It also has some benches and a plaque commemorating the hospital. Across D Street is Folger Park, a National Park Service site; apart from the street, they make for a contiguous park of more than 4 acres.

It was established as a park in 1978. But a variety of development projects have been proposed for the site in the decades since Providence moved, including housing, schools, a parking lot and a dormitory for congressional pages, all of which were defeated by neighborhood pressure, city officials or Congress.
