The new Waterfront Park combines the original King Street Park and Waterfront Park sites with the sites of the former Old Dominion Boat Club building and parking lot to create a seamless transition between Old Town’s historic retail corridor and the water.

The Windmill Hill Park Shoreline Project replaced a failed bulkhead and eroding shoreline with approximately 1,200 linear feet of living shoreline, pollinator-friendly habitat areas, a waterfront trail, water access points, seating walls and picnic areas, a renovated dog park, and more.

The City of Alexandria developed the Site See series to highlight Waterfront Park as a civic space, foster community engagement, and facilitate public interactions with world-class public art.

Founded in 1974 in an old munitions plant, the Torpedo Factory Art Center is home to the nation’s largest collection of working-artists’ open studios under one roof. The City manages the Torpedo Factory Art Center as part of the Office of the Arts’ family of programs and facilities.

As redevelopment takes place along Alexandria's waterfront, Alexandria's archaeologists are exploring the properties undergoing development.

The City is excavating, stabilizing, and storing three historic ship remnants excavated at the Robinson Landing Site (archaeological site 44AX235) for future study and conservation.
