There are gardens in the surrounding Capitol Park, including trees from around the world.
Capitol Park features memorials to significant events involving California:
Picture of Soldier1. A Civil War Memorial Grove planted in 1897 with saplings from famous Civil War battlefields.
2. A life-sized statue of Father Junípero Serra, a Roman Catholic missionary sent by Spain to help colonize California. At its base is a map of California's 21 missions, from San Diego to Sonoma.
3. The California Vietnam Veterans Memorial, with bronze statues of service men and women depicting military life in Vietnam and featuring engravings of names of Californians killed or missing in action.
4. The California Veterans Memorial, a granite obelisk honoring California Veterans from the Mexican-American War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War.

It's right across the street from the State Capital building to the west.
In the spring, weddings are quite common in the rose gardens.
The squirrels are not shy about taking peanuts from your hand.
It is surrounded by palm trees.
To the north there are trendy bistros and office buildings, a block away is the K street mall.
To the south are some beautiful old apartment buildings and, if memory serves a beautiful old (Catholic?) church.
There are plenty of walkways and benches; it's a favored spot of joggers, park-strollers and dog walkers.
