"As of November 2023 the park is really run down. There are methhead homeless living here that will sometimes harass visitors and follow them while screaming obsenities at them. The statue bust of Francis Scott Key has been spraypainted again. During the war of 1812 one of Key's friends was captured by the British, and Key went to Baltimore and boarded a British ship to ask them to release his friend. The British kept Key prisioner during the attack on the Americans at Fort McHenry. After the attack Key saw the US flag still flying over the fort, and wrote "The Star Spangled Banner", the United States anthem. I would say it is a good place to avoid."

"Nice little park by Key bridge, too bad it's in that pretentious Georgetown area of DC."

"This is a small but beautiful park. However, I've noticed several mentally ill homeless people live around its vicinity. I've seen them shout at and harass passerby on multiple occasions. Difficult to enjoy the park's beauty in peace!"

"This memorial is located in Washington DC after crossing key bridge from Rosalyn. It is close Ukraine Embassy. Beautiful place with plants and benches to sit and relax. Hiking C&O canal trail next to the memorial."

"There is a small public space along 34th and M in Georgetown known as the Francis Scott Key Memorial Park. This is a small area of public ground that was dedicated as a city park in 1993. You can walk through and all in 2-3 minutes. Here you find two split colonnades with vines and foliage, creating a nice bit of shade. There are three information panels providing historical accounts of these area, information about Francis Scott Key and how the Star Spangle banner came to be. There is also a commemorative bust of Francis Scott Key. The park was full of pink rose bushes which were in bloom during my May visit, making this a neat place during that time. The famous Georgetown (D.C.) Cupcakes is one block away. This could be a good spot to rest your feet and enjoy a cupcake."
