Cobb Park Construction Kick-Off Community Meeting Recap

Thursday January 30, 2025

Earlier this week, on the evening of Monday, January 27 at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, project managers from DC’s Departments of Parks and Recreation (DPR) & General Services (DGS) provided updates on the construction timeline and finalized design plans for the highly anticipated 1.2 acre Cobb Park before taking questions from community members in attendance. Per the project team, Cobb Park is on track to begin construction in Spring 2025 with “substantial completion” anticipated for early Fall of this year. The final park design features a full perimeter of trees planted on four-foot “berms” intended to increase privacy and reduce sound from within the park, the Star Court Pavilion shaded seating structure, and a playground area that is nearly double the size of the original plan.
