Pershing Park

Pershing Park

Pershing Park is a small park in Washington D.C. Located at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, it is across the street from Freedom Plaza and the Willard InterContinental hotel. It features a fountain which turns into an ice rink in the winter, and a small memorial to John J. Pershing, the General of the Armies in World War I. This was also the site of the arrest of over 400 demonstrators in the September 2002 protests of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. [Henri E. Cauvin. March 1, 2007.
