Children’s Park

The Mount Vernon Children’s Park, the first recreation area for families in the history of Mount Vernon, was a community-led effort culminating in the opening of the park in 2006. The community led the design and construction of the Children’s Park with support and contributions from neighborhood residents and businesses as well as foundations, cultural institutions and city agencies.

The Children’s Park is located at northeast corner of Calvert & Madison Streets with the park open 7 days a week from 9am-8pm and locked every evening. Go to mountvernonchildrenspark.org to learn more.
