The Parks at Walter Reed
The Parks at Walter Reed is a new community on the 66-acre site of a military hospital whose campus was fenced off from the surrounding community for decades. The project began more than a decade ago with the design of the master plan, and ultimately the historic axis has been re-established, extending the city grid though the site and opening the property to community members. It has become a welcoming place to gather, while providing both housing and much-needed services, including a grocery store, a daycare facility and a public playground.
