https://thedcline.org/2020/12/09/press-release-rehabilitation-planned-for-lower-level-of-meridian-hill-park/ Dec 9, 2020 Contact: Katie Liming (NPS) WASHINGTON - The National Park Service (NPS) will start work to improve accessibility and rehabilitate the historic landscape at Meridian Hill Park this month. This project focuses primarily on the lower plaza level of the park, near W Street NW, and is expected to be completed in summer 2022. Meridian Hill Park features one of America's earliest examples of decorative exposed aggregate concrete. The project includes replacement and repair of damaged historic walls, walkways and stairs to improve safety and preserve historic architectural elements of the park. The NPS will also install a universally accessible route from 16th Street NW to the lower plaza level of the park. The NPS will replace hazardous trees and restore shrubs to reflect the park's historic landscape plan. The park will install a frame that will allow trees to be trained and trimmed to form an archway, known as a pleached allee. This archway, which was part of the original landscape design, will frame the distant view of the Washington Monument. The NPS will also update storm drains and inlets. "Meridian Hill is a unique example of neoclassical park design in the United States and is an important space for community gathering, recreation and relaxation in our city," Superintendent Julia Washburn said. "We look forward to restoring this historic park and ensuring its enjoyment for generations to come." During the project, visitors will not have access to the lower level of the park. In addition, small sections of the upper level of the park will close temporarily for specific parts of the project and to stage equipment. The rest of the park will remain open throughout the rehabilitation. This phase of ongoing park restoration will not include repairs to the cascading fountain. The rehabilitation of the cascading fountain is proposed as a future project, and the NPS is working to identify funding. Meridian Hill Park was once home to a mansion, served as a Civil War encampment and was later developed in a French neoclassical (upper level) and Italian Renaissance villa landscape (lower level) design. The park served as a laboratory to experiment with concrete aggregate, a revolutionary medium of construction in the early 1900s. Construction of the park began in 1914. In 1994, Meridian Hill Park was designated a National Historic Landmark. ___________________________________________________ Directions to Meridian Hill Via the Metro: The closest subway stop is Columbia Heights (Green and Yellow lines).
