The DowntownDC BID, in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS), is revitalizing US Reservation 72, better known as Chinatown Park. The project includes replacing the interior sidewalk, improving the irrigation system, and installing new sod, trash bins, and benches.  In addition, NPS will plant new trees in the park this fall. (Yea, we love trees!)  Construction is slated to begin next month and conclude by early June.

In other park news, a tree planting is scheduled at US Reservation 68, also known as Burke Park, on Tuesday, April 24.  Casey Trees, in partnership with the BID, NPS, and the DC Office of Planning (OP), will plant several trees there and in the exterior sidewalk tree boxes.  The planting is part of a larger effort to improve park landscaping.
