Del Ray residents and the Alexandria Beautification Commission are turning a vacant, City-owned lot into a park.
The lot is adjacent to Simpson fields at the corner of Route 1 and East Bellefonte Avenue on the border of Del Ray and Potomac Yard near Flat Top Burger.
The park will include meadow plantings and seating. The passive space will provide a natural habitat for birds and insects and add some natural beauty to the area.
Organizers are looking for input on the new park’s name. Residents are invited to visit to share ideas at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2P8JFNC. The survey will be open through Sept. 16.
