Arlington County Begins Construction Of The Pentagon City Park
April 22, 2010 by jessebkaye
The Pentagon City Park, a 46-acre Park which had long served as an industrial site including a brick factory and staging area for construction of the Pentagon, is expected to be replaced with a building next summer.
The Arlington County began its plan of replacing the industrial site in 2001. The plan calls for trails for pedestrians and bikers, fill-size grass fields, an esplanade with public event area, and a building which will house a 50-meter pool and exercise rooms.
The County describes the project as “a distinctive showplace of environmentally sound development featuring attractive public green spaces, high-quality outdoor recreation facilities and environmentally responsible structures.” A new walkway is included in the plan to accommodate “strolling, bicycling, train spotting, plane watching and small festivals” according to a county statement.
Arlington voters have already approved a $50-million construction budget back in 2004 but with the additional planned phases, the project is expected to cost about $90 million. The county will pick up the initial $28 million construction costs while Marymount University will provide a $2 million construction grant.
