Anacostia Park

A large and popular urban park, Anacostia Park is located in Southeast D.C. and borders its namesake river for over a mile. 

Spanning 1200 acres, the park provides a multitude of recreational facilities and is the site of numerous outdoor events and volunteer efforts. The SCA’s Urban Tree House environmental education center can be found here, and frequent summer crews help maintain the park, planting native trees and removing invasive bush honeysuckle. SCA has celebrated the last several Earth Days at Anacostia Park, and this year’s projects will be continued improvements to the areas outside of the Urban Tree House and the Aquatic Education Center.
