About the Blog

This blog is focused on the small triangular park located where West Virginia Avenue meets 8th and K Streets NE in the Near Northeast/H Street neighborhood of Washington, DC.

It’s a small park in the middle of a busy intersection. Currently, there’s not much to look at except for some overgrown boxwood shrubs and an old community bulletin board that unfortunately is rotting from exposure to the elements.

K Street Triangle Park

This space could be so much more! The park sits at a prominent intersection in our neighborhood and could be a well-maintained focal point. Every day numerous people see this space as they pass by on foot, on the bus, or in their cars. Let’s make it something worth looking at!

So what would you like to see there? A permanent public-art installation? New landscaping? Trees? Flower-boxes? This blog was created in order to start a dialog within in the community about what this spot could and should be.

The space is owned and maintained by the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). DPR has an ‘Adopt-a-Park’ program that would perfect for this space. Basically, interested individuals come together and provide general clean-up and maintenance of the park. Support can come in the form of donations or volunteering your time. Over the next couple of months, we’ll provide opportunities for interested neighbors to sign up and become part of this program.

In the meantime, check out the blog topics and share your ideas and opinions! Together, we can make this a great community improvement!
