A new park at 10th Street, NW between L and M Streets opened in April 2011.

The 0.20-acre site fronts 10th Street, NW and is bounded to the north by an alley; to the south by a residential building; and to the east by an alley. Access to the park is from 10th Street.

Working with the neighborhood, DPR has designed the new park to include:

• Hardscaped plaza
• Open lawn
• Play area with unitary rubber surface and creative play structures, such as climbing boulders
• Landscaping featuring native plants
• Bio-retention areas to control stormwater
• Decorative water feature
• Low-level lighting
• Furnishings such as benches, tables, chairs and trash cans
• Elements memorializing local activist Connie Maffin and recognizing community service in general
