Oct 20 | National Park Service Virtual Community Meeting To Discuss Redesign Of Problematic Congress Heights Park

The National Park Service is committed to activating and reinvesting in Parkland, a 1.25 acre section of the Shepherd Parkway located in Congress Heights. Please join us and our design consultant in refining plans for this neighborhood national park. Community input is critical at this phase. The re-design of the playground, selection and mix of recreational amenities, and future programming will be largely based on community input. As plans progress from design to construction, we invite your feedback on what you'd like to see Parkland become!

A virtual public meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, October 20 at 6 pm. Two conceptual designs will be shared. Following the October public meeting, the design consultant will incorporate feedback from the public into a revised design concept.
