Clifford Avenue Pocket Park Project
Location: 3000 Fulton St.
The City of Alexandria is proposing a new pocket park on Clifford Avenue in Del Ray by transforming an existing parking island into a welcoming neighborhood green space. The project aims to improve walkability, strengthen neighborhood connections, expand access to open space, and provide environmental benefits through added trees and green infrastructure. Join the upcoming community meetings to learn more and share your input on the park design and features.
Why This Project Matters:
- Creates space for rest, gathering, and connection
- Improves neighborhood walkability and pedestrian safety
- Enhances the character of the surrounding area
