The Esplanade < Prev Venue  Next Venue >

This lush and grassy 5-1/2 acre expanse provides a tranquil and idyllic setting for receptions, parties, and special events for up to 5,000 attendees. The Esplanade's natural beauty - complete with evergreen and deciduous trees, seasonal flora and cascading waterfalls - is complemented by the marvelous view of downtown. The Esplanade can also be used for breakfasts, large scale catering and food service.

Located within the Esplanade are the MLK, Jr. Memorial Waterfall, the Stone Stage, a Butterfly Garden, and a Reflection Pond. See detailed Gardens Map.
