Project Description:
This project is full renovation of the playground and dogpark and ADA and modest improvements to the plaza.
Project Status:
The Department of General Services (DGS) wants to inform you of a recent development that will impact the 26th and I Streets Playground. We have made the decision to terminate contracts with Broughton Construction Company after careful consideration and assessment of their performance. We understand that this will cause the 26th and I Streets Playground project to be delayed; however, our priority remains delivering the highest quality facilities which serve the public’s needs across the District. We are working diligently to assess the situation, explore alternative solutions, and minimize disruptions caused by this change as we move toward a Winter 2024 start date. Our team is committed to keeping you informed about the progress of this project, as well as the steps we are taking to minimize delays and deliver this playground and dog park as swiftly as possible.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this situation. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Please contact Wayne Gore, [email protected], with any questions, or visit https://dgs.dc.gov/page/26th-and-i-streets-nw-playground for further updates.
