Thanks for being a part of the #DCBridgePark family! 🎉 Together, we are creating a brighter, healthier, and more equitable DC. There were many highs this year that we accomplished together because of the amazing support from YOU! Highlights of 2024: - $15MM Federal Grant that completed our construction capital campaign. - Received a number of permits allowing us to move forward with the solicitation of our general contractor in early 2025. - Launch of a $20MM Equity Fund to support Bridge Park programming & affordable housing strategies. - New Health & Wellness series in partnership with Friends of Anacostia Park. - Food & Farm Fridays series providing nearly 3,000 residents with locally grown produce. We are thrilled to continue our journey with you. Here's to an amazing new year! #DCBridgePark https://lnkd.in/etk824QQ
About us
The 11th Street Bridge Park, a project of Ward 8 based nonprofit Building Bridges Across the River at THEARC will be Washington, D.C.’s first elevated public park located on the piers of the old 11th Street Bridge spanning the Anacostia River: a new venue for healthy recreation; environmental education and the arts. After a seven-month design competition, the design team of OMA+OLIN was selected in October 2014. With the ongoing capital campaign securing more than $15 million to date, Bridge Park draws on extensive community outreach and consultative process, anchored by more than 700 stakeholder meetings for design development and impact. The park is expected to open by 2019.
