WRT is preparing the General Management Plan (GMP) for Anacostia Park, a unit of the National Park Service's National Capital Parks East. Encompassing 1,215 acres of waterfront land, Anacostia Park is one of the major greenways in the nation's capital. Managers of the park face tremendous challenges typical of urban park systems. The new GMP will provide the framework to direct park management activities for the next 20 years, defining resource management strategies, park uses, and the range of visitor experiences. A major emphasis of the GMP is integration of the diverse planning and environmental restoration efforts aimed at revitalizing Washington's waterfront, celebrating national heritage, enhancing recreation opportunities, and improving water quality.
