The Wharf's 7th Street Park and Recreation Pier
THE WHARF’S 7TH STREET PARK AND RECREATION PIER
WASHINGTON, DC | The Wharf’s 7th Street Park and Recreation Pier draws a diverse mix of locals, visitors, and wildlife to a playful meeting point: a site that conceptually mimics the rise and fall of rolling current. A reimagined waterfront site invites people to the water’s edge, uplifting spirits through accessible play and immersion in the local ecosystem. At the center of a mile long mixed-use development, the project evokes imagery of both water and shipbuilding and an ecology that filters stormwater and regenerates the natural habitat. After generations of limited water access, its resounding popularity reveals the impact of building an inviting community place and the innate desire to occupy the intersection of land and water.
