Georgetown Waterfront Park

Der Georgetown Waterfront Park ist eine im Herbst 2011 fertiggestellte Parkanlage in Washington D.C., im Stadtteil Georgetown. Als Teil des Georgetown Historic District erstreckt sich der Park entlang des Ufers des Potomac River von der 31st Street NW bis zur Key Bridge. Geschichte Die Planungen und Entwicklungen des Parks dauerten mehrere Jahrzehnte. Im Jahr 1968 lege die National Capital Planning Commission das Ufer von Georgetown als zukünftige Parkfläche fest. In der Folge wurde eine Vereinbarung zwischen dem National Park Service und dem Bürgermeister des District of Columbia getroffen, die die Übertragung von etwa 4 Hektar Land für den geplanten Park vorsah. Gestaltung Nach seiner Fertigstellung verbindet der Park insgesamt 362 Kilometer zusammenhängender Grünflächen entlang des Potomac River, die sich von Cumberland bis nach Mount Vernon erstrecken. Die Gestaltung des Parks orientiert sich an der natürlichen Krümmung des Flussverlaufs. Lage Der Georgetown Waterfront Park befindet sich am Fuße der Wisconsin Avenue NW in Georgetown. Die Anbindung an den öffentlichen Nahverkehr erfolgt unter anderem über die nahegelegene Metrorail-Station Foggy Bottom–GWU Station, die von den Linien Orange, Blau und Silber bedient wird. Zudem verkehren Buslinien des DC Circulator zwischen der Washington Union Station und Georgetown. Weblinks Georgetown Waterfront Park. Abgerufen am 18. Juli 2026 (englisch). Einzelnachweise
Georgetown Waterfront Park

Georgetown Waterfront Park is a national park completed in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 2011. Part of the Georgetown Historic District, the park stretches along the banks of the Potomac River from 31st Street, NW to the Key Bridge. The result of many years of advocacy and fundraising, the site features several notable design elements. Now complete, the park links 225 miles (362 km) of parkland along the Potomac River stretching from Cumberland, Maryland to Mount Vernon, Virginia. The park was designed to passively complement the natural curve of the river. History The park has been in various stages of planning and development for several decades. In 1968, the National Capital Planning Commission identified the Georgetown Waterfront as future parkland. An agreement was reached between the National Park Service and the mayor of the District of Columbia to transfer 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land for the proposed park. In recent years, the Georgetown waterfront has been redeveloped from industrial blight to a thriving commercial and residential destination. Parts of the park site had served as a parking lot before construction began. The Washington Harbour complex and a movie theater on the Georgetown Incinerator site regularly draw crowds down to the waterfront. Design elements The park features gently sloping grass hills and shade trees. The landscape blends with mixed-use paved pathways. The promenade provides panoramic views of Theodore Roosevelt Island, the Key Bridge, and the Kennedy Center. Several distinctive design elements include an interactive fountain, river stairs, and scenic overlooks. This part of the park, known as the Wisconsin Avenue Plaza, serves as a gateway to the Potomac River.

Fort Slocum (Washington, D.C.)

Fort Slocum was one of seven temporary earthwork forts of the Civil War Defenses of Washington, D.C., built in the Northeast quadrant of the city after the beginning of the war by the Union Army to protect the city from the Confederate Army. From west to east, the forts were as follows: Fort Slocum, Fort Totten, Fort Slemmer, Fort Bunker Hill, Fort Saratoga, Fort Thayer and Fort Lincoln. Civil War The fort was built by the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry. It was named after Colonel John Slocum of the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry, killed in action on July 21, 1861, at the First Battle of Bull Run (also known as the First Battle of Manassas). The fort perimeter measured 653 yards (597 m) and covered the Rock Creek Church Road (today Blair Road) and New Hampshire Avenue. The fort contained the following equipment: One 8-inch siege howitzer Two 24-pounder siege guns Two 24-pounder seacoast guns Four 24-pounder howitzers Seven 4.5-inch siege rifle Six 10-pounder rifled Parrott rifles One 10-inch siege mortar M. 1841 Two 24-pounder Coehorn mortars The batteries were never completed on the east and west of the fort. If they had, an extra ten more guns could have been added. The following elements garrisoned at the fort at some point during the war: 76th New York Volunteer Infantry 1st New Hampshire Heavy Artillery Volunteer Regiment 150th Ohio National Guard 14th Independent Battery Michigan Light Artillery Pennsylvania Independent Light Artillery Battery E known as "Knapp's Battery" It provided support to Fort Stevens west of Fort Slocum. When the Confederate States Army attacked Fort Stevens on July 11 and July 12, 1864, Fort Slocum fired its long-range guns. During the battle, 1,500 employees of the Army Quartermaster office led by General Montgomery Meigs assisted the garrison along with 2,800 hospitalized soldiers from the nearby hospitals under the command of Colonel Francis Price. Post Civil War Today, no visible evidence remains of Fort Slocum. During World War II, the fort and its surroundings were demolished when victory gardens were planted to support the war effort. Presently the park is administered as part of Rock Creek Park, and has forested trails and picnic areas.

Godey Lime Kilns

The Godey Lime Kilns, also known as Washington Lime Kilns, are an historical industrial building ruin, located beside the interchange of Rock Creek Parkway and Whitehurst Freeway, near the western end of L Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. History Located on the east bank of Rock Creek, at the terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the kilns produced lime for construction of the city of Washington, D.C. Built in 1864, by William H. Godey, the site originally included four wood-fired ovens that were used to make lime and plaster, from limestone. The business was operational until 1907, when all of the wooden structures at the site were removed. Two of the four kilns were removed to make way for ramps between Rock Creek Parkway and Whitehurst Freeway. A partial restoration of the remaining kilns was completed by January 1, 1967. The remains were added to the National Register of Historic Places, on May 22, 1973.

Gravelly Point

Gravelly Point is an area within the National Park Service's George Washington Memorial Parkway in Arlington County, Virginia. It is located on the west side of the Potomac River, immediately north of Roaches Run and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Gravelly Point has served as an iconic spot for plane spotters, picnickers and others to watch planes take off and land from National Airport for more than half a century. Developments In 2023, Arlington County announced it would allocate $1 million for implementing improvements at Gravelly Point. The funds were allocated ahead of the scheduled construction of a pedestrian bridge between Crystal City and the airport, which would be located less than a mile from the area. Geography It sits directly under the glide path of the airport's main runways; aircraft pass between 100 and 200 feet overhead on final approach to land on Runway 19 and when taking off from Runway 1. The paved Mount Vernon Trail travels through the area. A rugby pitch hosts high school matches. The area also has a boat launch and a Capital Bikeshare dock. Security Part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the public recreation area is patrolled by the U.S. Park Police. The public is kept off the airport land by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police. Proposed renaming Between 2016 and 2021, Representative Jody Hice of Georgia, a Republican, introduced four unsuccessful bills in the House of Representatives to rename the Gravelly Point area "Nancy Reagan Memorial Park." His legislation, filed as H.R. 5457 (2016), H.R. 553 (2017-18), H.R. 308 (2019), and H.R. 4364 (2021), was each time referred to a subcommittee by the House Committee on Natural Resources, proceeding no further.
