The Dumbarton Oaks Park is a public park, located in the 3100 block of R Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Georgetown neighborhood. Access is via Lovers' Lane from R Street, east of 32nd Street. It is located near Dumbarton Oaks, Montrose Park, and Oak Hill Cemetery. It is part of the Georgetown Historic District.[2] Now part of Rock Creek Park, it originally belonged to the Dumbarton Oaks estate which had designed it as an enhanced "natural" area. In the 2020's the National Park Service worked with the estate to restore and preserve the landscape architecture of Beatrix Farrand in the park.[3]
