Join us on Monday, April 24, 2017, for a presentation and Q&A session of the refined concept design for what will be the largest park built as part of the NoMa Parks plan.

Landscape architecture firm Nelson Byrd Woltz has been hard at work refining the concept design for the future “NoMa Green” (working title; final name of park TBD), located on Harry Thomas Way NE, just south of R Street NE.

The “NoMa Green” Community Meeting will begin at 6:30 PM and will also be held at the Hilton Garden Inn (1225 First Street NE).
