Unlike other parks, it is not maintained or funded by the DC Department of Parks and Recreation. At the same time, there is currently no system of mandatory dues for people who use the park, even for homeowners adjacent to the park. The park only works if those who use and enjoy it contribute to it in some way.

Budget

It costs over $45,000 per year just to maintain the park. Recurring annual expenses include:

• Lawn Maintenance and Repair

• Water Bill

• Tree upkeep

• D&O Insurance

• Fees and expenses, including DCRA fees and Community Day expenses

• Summer Movie Series

These costs don’t include the many hundreds of volunteer hours donated every year by neighbors who care for the park. Nor do they include any long-term investments made to the park.
