The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities and applicant design team presented a park design for the extension of Potomac Yard Park to the Park and Recreation Commission on Thursday, October 15 for endorsement.

There will be a public hearing on the design for the extension of Potomac Yard Park on November 19, 2020 to provide a written recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration at their December 2020 public hearings. Members of the public not able to attend the public hearing may submit comments by mail or email on the design of the extension of Potomac Yard Park until Wednesday, November 16 2020.

3601 Potomac Avenue

Potomac Yard Park is the main designated open space for Phase 1 of the North Potomac Yard development project. The 4.5-acre park will be an extension of the currently constructed Potomac Yard Park south of North Potomac Yard. The park is envisioned to be a regional amenity with a mix of active, passive, and social uses and will provide the missing link to create a continuous off-street trail from Braddock Road to Four Mile Run. 

The design for the extension of Potomac Yard Park has been an iterative process in 2020 including feedback received from the community through virtual community meetings, Potomac Yard Design Advisory Committee meetings, and presentations to the Park and Recreation Commission in July and October.
