Newark Street Dog Park is located at the intersection of 39th and Newark Streets, NW.
From a press release:
“The $400,000 off-leash dog park spans over 10,000 square-feet in two enclosed areas and adheres to DPR’s standards and guidelines. Located on the southeast corner of the existing Newark Park, the new dog park is Americans with Disabilities (ADA) accessible. The community raised $25,000 for amenities in the new dog park.
Built in just four months after months of delay due to council hearings, the dog park boasts environmentally-friendly and sustainable features that include a rain garden with native plants and bio-retentive drain pipe.
Newark Dog Park is the District’s fourth dog park. A fifth dog park adjacent to the Upshur Recreation Center in Ward 4 is expected to be complete in October 2010. Designs for an additional dog park in Ward 5 between 14th Street and Tennessee Avenue, NE are in the works. All dog parks are built through a public-private partnership with DPR and the sponsoring community.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
