Water Is Life

Park It Here
The great outdoors is getting even better thanks to the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative. Existing parks have been cleaned up and improved, and new parks have been added to give residents and visitors a buffet of recreational choices. What was once a series of isolated, underutilized spaces has become an interconnected system of parks all along the waterfront.

So whatever you're doing—taking a water taxi to a Nationals' game via Diamond Teague Park, catching a concert on Kingman Island, getting lunch from the market in Marvin Gaye Park—you'll be doing it in a river park system that's safe, accessible, and just plain fun.

Colossal Clean Up
Think cleaning your room is a big job? Over the past few years, 24,000 volunteers picked up 6 million pounds of trash while turning dirty and polluted Watts Branch Park into green and gorgeous Marvin Gaye Park.
