Canal Park
Canal Park runs three blocks along the route of the old Washington City Canal. Since 2012 it's had a 42-jet dancing fountain in warm months, an ice rink in winter, the Light Cube and grassy areas for play. It was built green, too: underground cisterns supply up to 95 percent of the park's water.
