Description

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TO ATTEND

Fessenden Park - the small, triangular park bounded by Wisconsin Avenue, Fessenden Street, and 42nd Street - is a lovely little green space that has the potential to become a community gathering spot.


With the support of the Department of Parks and Recreation and at the urging of community members, Tenleytown Main Street is exploring potential programming, landscaping, seating, and other improvements for the park. TMS hopes to encourage people to utilize the park and bring new life to the area. Suggestions have ranged from morning yoga classes to a concert series to outdoor art shows. Others have proposed new benches, small game tables, and even a gazebo. There are endless possibilities!


TMS invites Tenleytown residents and business owners to share their feedback and ideas for improving the park at a Community Design Charrette on April 4, 2017. The goal is to develop a consensus on what the community would like to see happen at the park.


The workshop will begin with a walk-through at the park at 6:30 p.m., followed by a facilitated discussion at 7 p.m. at Hera Hub DC about potential uses for and improvements to Fessenden Park.


Your input is critical, so please plan to join the discussion. Register online to attend the charrette.


In advance of the meeting - and for those who are unable to attend - TMS is also conducting an online survey to gather community feedback about Fessenden Park. Please take our brief survey now.
