Anacostia River Park Ground Breaking

Mayor Adrian Fenty has broken ground for a waterfront park to be located between Nationals Park and the historic Navy Yard on the Anacostia River.

The Park at the Yards is part of Washington's largest development project. Fenty broke ground for the $42 million park Thursday, along with officials from private developer Forest City Washington and the General Services Administration.

The park will be built on what was formerly federal land known as the Southeast Federal Center.

It's slated to be transformed from an industrial site to a riverfront promenade with lawns, gardens and retail space. Plans include a waterfall and a pedestrian bridge.

The Yards will eventually include about 2,700 condos and apartments and nearly 2 million square feet of office space.
