This was a nice area to walk with lots of statues. (Looking on the pictures on here I clearly missed some of them). There are toilets, and a couple of water refill stations. Take your camera.Full review by Tigeriffic69

Yes, there is metered parking on Ohio Drive SW, as you drive from Jefferson to Lincoln along Pontomac river. You can park there and walk to all the memorials, also including Lincoln, Korean and Vietnam, as there isn’t much parking nearer those (there is some).
