Create vibrant public park by tearing down the fence surrounding grounds for Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH)
2 years ago I moved into Park View in Ward 1. Its a wonderful community, but unfortunately the view of the park is blocked by huge fences protecting the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH). How magical would it be for the community to have a green space to enjoy? Surely there is a path to respect our veterans but still serve our community? Green space is at a premium, lets bring the quality of life up for the whole community. I imagine that the retirees may even enjoy the site and opportunity to interact with children, families and couples enjoying the park.

This park was originally designed as the Central Park of DC, but now is fenced off to the community. Like Central Park, a massive green space between NE and NW that is public transport accessible would do wonders to bringing people from the district together to enjoy life.
