Great news!

Because of your support, the DC Department of Parks & Recreation has requested a letter of support from the Ward 5 ANC for a new Community Park and a dedicated Community Dog Park at Union Market. The Ward 5 Beautification Committee — of which I’m proud to be a member — has reviewed the proposal and is recommending approval and a formal resolution.

The ANC Committee of the Whole will meet on 8/25 to answer any final questions, and the ANC will vote at the Public Meeting on 9/8. Please join the conversation: https://dc-gov.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_didyRzZtTKufvo3ZI0E9lw #/registration (https://dc-gov.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_didyRzZtTKufvo3ZI0E9lw #/registration)

If approved, Union Market will gain an official Community Park with a children’s play area and a dedicated dog park to serve the neighborhood’s projected 9,500 residents. Thank you to everyone whose support brought us to this exciting moment — your voices are transforming Union Market!
