Hardy Park Clean-Up (and Spring Fling) from May 4, 2019

In case you missed it this year, more than twenty neighbors joined in the effort that was arranged and led by the Friends of Hardy and the FCCA. Here are some shots of some of the workers that day. The following photos are all from Gerald Henderson. Thank you, Gerald!

If you have any images from either the clean-up or Spring Fling portion of the day, don’t hesitate to share them.

Follow the Hardy Park and Rec Center Renovation Effort

If you would like to keep up with what is going on with the Hady Park renovation, there is no more a definitive place to go than DPR’s root page for the effort. Visit it here:

https://dgs.dc.gov/page/hardy-recreation-center

You’ll find key players as well as slides and presentation packages of updates provided by DPR and the contracted vendors (architects, builders, etc.).

Note: If you find the slides too hard to view (or the “full screen” control does not make them fullscreen), you can try this URL at SlideShare to get more direct access:

Peter Nohrden, our DPR Project Manager and our general go-to, shared this with us after the progress meeting shared on April 29, 2019: “Thank you for coming out and providing us with great feedback on the design as we continue to revise the plans as we move forward. Please find the link to the presentation below and please share this with your family, friends, and neighbors who could not make the presentation. We will send you out a flyer once we schedule our next meeting after a contractor is hired to continue the design discussions in more detail.”

Here’s a sample slide that shows a concept of the plaza area. See more by folloowing thre asbove link to DPR’s site and the entire presentation.

DPR Survey Results for Hardy Recreation Center and Park


If you have never viewed the DPR Survey Results for Hardy Recreation Center and Park, we got to see the following presentation at a general meeting in May 2018. On April 29, 2019, we will have our next meeting with DPR to discuss advancements since that time, and begin to weigh-in and influence more specific decisions that are being made as the renovation nears.
