01 Buzzard Point Waterfront Park

Washington, D.C.

D.C.’s Buzzard Point is experiencing gentrification, and its natural ammenities are being underused. Buzzard Point Waterfront Park, for example, offers great potential for recreational, educational and social experiences for community members, and it is currently being neglected as surrounding construction continues.

A reimagined Buzzard Point Waterfront Park will bring people to the Anacostia River by uncovering and highlighting its value. It will serve as a way to connect people to their natural surroundings, both through direct educational programs and more indirect methods such as boating and play. The park will ultimately foster environmental stewardship while simultaneously tackling current issues, such as Buzzard Point’s status as a food dessert and environmental degradation.
