Still Waiting on the Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Fountain to be filled 2024 edition “who can we talk to, or advocate, to get these fountains back on and this park the attention and care it deserves?”

You can see the 2023 edition here.

Update from Rock Creek Park NPS: “We are seeking funding for the repairs to the cascading fountain at Meridian Hill Park. Work needed to be completed before the fountain can operate includes additional rehab of deteriorated concrete & replacement of the variable frequency drive water pump.”

Carter Christensen asks:

“Serious question re: Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park – who can we talk to, or advocate, to get these fountains back on and this park the attention and care it deserves? It’s a shame this space just sits here like this year after year to no avail – the city deserves better.”

“This is a problem going back decades. It’s been fixed and on for only a short time before it shut down again. Here’s my grandmother early 40s back when it actually functioned as a fountain regularly. (Grandparents met while both living on Euclid in one of the big apartment blds)”
