Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park, located in the Columbia Heights/Adams Morgan neighborhood, is the birthplace of Washington Parks & People. We have worked together with neighbors and community partners to bring about the transformation of what was once the single most violent park in the capital region. Today, Meridian Hill/Malcolm X is one of the city’s safest spaces to learn, play, and explore.

Every 3rd Saturday of the month from 10am-1pm, Parks & People hosts a volunteer park revitalization event in Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park. Volunteers meet under the Joan D’arc Statue located on the upper terrace of the park, helping our staff with cleaning up debris and trash, invasive species removal, tree watering, and general park maintenance. This is a great event for both groups and individuals! If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about the service day, email [email protected].
