The Future of the RFK Stadium Campus -February 2025  CHRS_RFK_statement_02-2025

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society supports progressive development of the RFK Stadium Campus in alignment with the important District goals foregrounded in the 2021 Comprehensive Plan and earlier studies, and long championed by Mayor Muriel Bowser and other civic leaders. 

Basically, we support land for athletic and recreational use; the inclusion of affordable housing; commercial and residential projects; continued public access to the Anacostia River Trail; and no development within 60 feet of the shoreline and wetlands next to the Anacostia River. In addition, we recommend a comprehensive study be made about parking and the need for expanded public transportation. 

Friends of Kingman Park (FOKP) has launched a survey and website on RFK’s future: www.rfkfuture.org. Please take the survey to register your thoughts on the future of the site.
