My secret place

Freedom Park in Rosslyn, Virginia is a two-block-long elevated park originally intended as a commuter path. Now, the plaza, with its benches, gardens and trees, is a place of quiet retreat for residents and workers alike. And yoga. “I was drawn to this particular space because of its beautiful greenery and natural beauty,” says Mario Devon Austin. “This special place is in the heart of the Washington Metropolitan area and it brings many different elements together for everyday life.”
