Saturday, June 13:  Discover Virginia Avenue Park

11:00am – 2:00pm

Friends of Virginia Avenue Park host this Community Day with tours, lively Caribbean music, games and snacks and beverages.

VAP is along the south side of 1-695 between 9th and 11th Streets SE.

The oldest feature in the park is a community garden so popular it has a constant waitlist. A large dog park was added as part of the community benefits resulting from the CSX rail tunnel project.

The most recent addition to the park is a children’s playground donated by the National Community Church.  With an open view of the Washington Monument, the park is a good place watch fireworks.
