Thank you for your feedback and ongoing collaboration on three parks in South Capitol Hill, including Broadway Hill, Tashkent and Seven Hills Park!

We hosted a community feedback session on Wednesday, November 19, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at Garfield Community Center.

Our team is currently analyzing your input and will be submitting recommendations in December. Our recommendation will include ongoing challenges and potential solutions to safety concerns, accessibility barriers, and park misuse. We will look at how community is interested in activating the spaces through recreational and community activities and enhancing public safety. SPR is also analyzing potential permanent fencing and useful park infrastructure. We recognize these parks have been impacted by activities incompatible with intended use. We are working to ensure that all parks are clean, safe and welcoming.

Seven Hills Park is currently closed and SPR will extend the closure until December 27, 2025.

This community-centered initiative invites residents, businesses, and organizations on Capitol Hill to come together to enhance the safety, vitality, and inclusivity of these neighborhood parks. This activation strategy seeks to address ongoing challenges such as safety concerns, accessibility barriers, and park misuse by fostering open dialogue and transparent partnerships.
