Dark Star Park
4.2 (82)park
4.2 (82)This quiet pocket park centers on Nancy Holt’s massive concrete spheres, sculpted to evoke fallen stars.
Description
Completed in 1984, the space is engineered around an annual occurrence: at 9:32 AM on August 1, shadows cast by poles align with shadow patterns on the ground to mark the day Rosslyn was founded. On ordinary days, the compact grassy enclave functions as an uncrowded pause with adjacent water features, though upkeep can be uneven, with dormant fountains and visible wear occasionally noted.
