One day left to submit feedback on plans to fix Alexandria’s worst park

For years, City reports have confirmed that John Ewald Park on Duke Street is in rough shape, but the ball started rolling last year on plans to revitalize the lackluster space.

A new survey posted by the City of Alexandria asks for public feedback on plans to transform the park. Proposed new additions include a second basketball court, picnic pavilion, parkour equipment and more.

The survey started last year and is scheduled to run through tomorrow (Wednesday).

Plans to modernize the park were first developed back in 2015 but never got off the ground. The new survey asks respondents to prioritize additions to the space and to pick which design option they prefer.

The project is scheduled to go to the Park and Recreation Commission for an update on Thursday, Feb. 20.
