Many neighbors might notice the construction for the new playground is nearing completion. I reached out to the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation for an update and here is what they said:

Thank you for your support of the new playground at Riggs Park. You have probably seen that we are in the finishing moments. We have to install the landscaping and various punch-list items in the coming weeks, but we anticipate opening the playground around the end of the month. I will let you know once we have a confirmed date.

So, that sounds like very good news. I’ll keep ya’ll posted when that “confirmed date” is known.
