This park is called Meridian Hill Park.  It has two tiers. I spent lots of time there as a child.

Some facts about it:

The style is called neoclassicist.

It was home to an African American Seminary and a college that was to become George Washington University.

It once contained a mansion where John Quincy Adams moved  when he left the White House in 1829.
