B 25-0839 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Reservoir Park Recreation Center Designation Emergency Act of 2024

This bill officially names a new public park and recreation center at the former McMillan Sand Filtration site as the "Reservoir Park Recreation Center." The legislation directly affects the 25-acre redevelopment project, which includes a six-acre facility with a pool, fitness center, and public gathering spaces. By adopting this name, the District aims to distance the site from the controversial legacy of Senator James McMillan while honoring the area's connection to the nearby water reservoir. The act serves as an emergency measure to allow for the installation of signage before the park opens to the public in June.
