Current Construction Wisconsin to 31st Street
Print This Page
Phase two (the area at the foot of Wisconsin to 31st Street) of Georgetown Waterfront Park is currently under construction, and will be completed and open to the public by the fall of 2010.
The Wisconsin Avenue part of the park will greet the visitor with a low arcing fountain lined with benches, while the riverfront will have steps laddering down to the river at the site of the finish line for the regattas. A wide walkway will be continued along the river with an area with benches and a pergola for river viewing.
In this section of the park, crowds can gather to watch rowing regattas or just look at the river from the sheltered pergola
.
The interactive fountain will add a playful aquatic feature to attract visitors to the river from Wisconsin Avenue. An arbor above the benches will invite visitors to relax by the water. The arbor will support flowering vines, filtering the sunlight over seating areas. Below the arbor, river stairs will descend to the water, forming an amphitheater where people can view activities in the park and watch the finish line of the boat races.
