Officially established in 1965,
National Mall & Memorial Parks contains some of the oldest protected park lands
in the National Park Service. The sprawling lands of the National Mall &
Memorial Parks include the Mall, the public promenade extending from 3rd Street
near the Capitol to 14th Street. The National Mall is the continuation of that
space where congressionally authorized park icons, such as the Washington
Monument, WWII and Lincoln Memorials stand. This historic expanse is the linear
area between the Potomac River and Capital Reflecting Pool. In addition to the
memorial core, the park includes some 156 reservations, circles, fountains and
other open spaces, all of which serve as the nation?s front yard. Ford?s
Theatre, The House where Lincoln died, Potomac Park, Hains Point and
Pennsylvania Avenue NHS are also among the park managed areas that constitute
National Mall & Memorial Parks.
