Buzzard Point Park
Buzzard Point Park is 3.5 acres of National Park Service land on the Anacostia River: a quiet stretch of shoreline with river views.

What we do here
We're an official partner of the National Park Service at Buzzard Point. We raise funds, bring programming and volunteer days, and support the Park Service's work to care for the park – like our July 2025 volunteer day with the Park Service and Earth Conservation Corps, when volunteers painted planters and cleared brush along the river.
What's next
The National Park Service is launching the final phase of planning for a redesigned park. As partners in the space, we'll share more on the plans and timing in November 2026 and throughout the process.
