Play DC: Congress Heights Playground Renovation

Status: Construction Pending

The play space at Congress Heights is located at 611 Alabama Ave SE in Ward 8. The current play space includes a baseball field, basketball court, tennis courts, and play equipment.

Timeline

  • First community meeting: November 14, 2012
  • Second community meeting: December 5, 2012
  • Groundbreaking event: TBD
  • Construction start date: TBD
  • Expected completion date: TBD

What’s New?

The concept for the play space at Congress Heights calls for an improved entry to the site, including new trees and a rubberized play surface. New equipment will be located more centrally in the site, and will include a spray feature. An outdoor classroom and performance space enhance the site, and the tennis courts and basketball courts will be relocated and resurfaced.

How You’ll Move Grow and Be Green

Renovated tennis and basketball courts provide great ways to MOVE and be active. New learning stations and an outdoor classroom provide opportunities to GROW in your knowledge of the natural world. A native planting garden encourages us to play and BE GREEN.
