Four areas representing each of the four terms of President Roosevelt. Each area very different and moving, the unity of the water fountains makes this a stunning monument.

Visited DC 7 years ago and missed out on this Memorial. We walked from Fords Theater, which was a bit of a trek, but we also learned 7 years ago, if you arrive in DC with a car...park it and walk and take the metro-rail.

Being a person who loves to pose for pictures, this is my favorite monument in D.C. due to it's lack of height. It's easy to take pictures here because the statues are smaller and there are many of them. Another plus is that the stone walls protect from chill of windy weather.

Very large memorial. Well worth visiting, but if you want to take it all in plan at least an hour because it is very large. The man was elected to four terms.
