The Final Jewel, Georgetown Waterfront Park

	For nearly 30 years, dedicated citizens have worked to transform Georgetown’s neglected front yard into a beautiful national park. Now that the dirt is finally flying, park partners are working to spread the word about this exciting development. Residents, university students, and visitors will soon have the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of exercise or relaxation at the river’s edge when they visit Georgetown Waterfront Park. Park advocates and community leaders have joined forces with the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation to achieve a common goal: to complete Georgetown Waterfront Park and add it to the growing list of great outdoor destinations in the Washington area. We welcome and encourage new advocates and partners. Join us now.

	Georgetown Waterfront Park will be managed and maintained by our partners at the National Park Service. NPS fills many roles including: guardian of our diverse cultural and recreational resources; environmental advocate; world leader in the parks and preservation community; and a pioneer in the drive to protect America’s open space. The NPS is responsible for 391 areas covering more than 83 million acres in 49 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands.

	Support from community developers, corporations, property owners, and businesses with a vested interest in the park is an important part of this campaign. Park partners meet regularly with representatives of the private sector to discuss the park’s progress and the impact it can have on the economic vitality of lower Georgetown. Back to top
