Poplar Point Plan Summary

The plan for Poplar Point brings this area to life as a significant new waterfront park, befitting its role as a gateway to the Anacostia RiverParks. The new park will extend the full length of the area from the Point to the 11th Street Bridge. It will be defined by a crescent-shaped Anacostia Drive east of its present alignment. The new park road will be the western edge of a mix of uses providing a sweeping and lively city edge to the park. The parkland will have gardens, memorials, museums, outdoor performance areas, trails, wetlands, a daylighted Stickfoot Creek, ball fields, and a variety of landscape to serve the local community and visitors.
