Anacostia Park is a park within the national park system managed by National Capital Parks — East. It encompasses approximately 1,110 acres of land composed of natural areas, cultural sites, managed waterfront areas and public recreation facilities along the shore of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. It is a neighborhood park with national significance. The surrounding community is deeply connected to Anacostia Park and recreational opportunities and greenspace it provides.
The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared a Development Concept Plan for sections D & E of Anacostia Park, the area of the park east of the Anacostia River between the 11th Street Bridge and the CSX railroad bridge. The plan provides a framework for future development and use of the park. Throughout the development of the plan, the NPS conducted public comment periods and held outreach events to hear from park users, the surrounding neighborhood, and the public about how visitors currently use the space and their ideas for the future of this unique landscape in the heart of DC.
