Background

Anacostia Recreation Center, originally named Anacostia Pool, was built in 1937 within Anacostia Park by the National Park Service (“NPS”) and funded by the Public Works Administration (“PWA”). The site is bounded by Anacostia Drive and Anacostia River to the North and District of Columbia Route 295 (“DC 295”). The pool was the site of historic civil rights events in the District in 1949. In 1973, a portion of Anacostia Park, including the Anacostia Recreation Center and Pool, was transferred to the District and is now under the DPR portfolio.
