The
National Mall is an open-area
national park in
downtown Washington, D.C., the
capital of the
United States. The
National Park Service administers the National Mall, which is part of its
National Mall and Memorial Parks unit. The term
National Mall commonly includes areas that are officially part of
West Potomac Park and
Constitution Gardens to the west, and often is taken to refer to the entire area between the
Lincoln Memorial and the
United States Capitol, with the
Washington Monument providing a division slightly west of the center.
