This project will address deficiencies in urban recreation areas throughout National Capital Parks-East. Tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, picnic pavilions, skating rink, and Mission 66 comfort stations, along with features, such as fencing and lighting, will be replaced or rehabilitated at Anacostia, Fort Dupont, Kenilworth, Battery Rickets, River Terrance Park, Randall Circle, Alabama Avenue, Fort Stanton, and D.C. Recreation Center. The infrastructure and landscape in the Parkland Area of Shepherd Parkway will be rehabilitated to accommodate a wide range of events and recreational opportunities.
If no action is taken, the tennis and basketball courts will continue to deteriorate or present risks to visitors, and the park may eventually need to close the courts to public recreation for safety reasons. Failing to rehabilitate the picnic pavilions and comfort stations will result in the continued deterioration of these facilities Poor health and safety conditions, as well as increased visitor complaints and dissatisfaction, will continue. Unhealthy trees and stumps will continue to pose safety risks. Outdated and failing playground surfaces and equipment pose a safety risk for families. Deterioration of hardscapes will continue to impede the safe travel of visitors. Poor signage in all areas will continue to cause confusion for visitors and fail to alleviate their safety concerns. Other features and amenities, such as fences, lamp posts, benches, trash receptacles, and community kiosks will continue to deteriorate without rehabilitation or replacement.
