The votes have been counted and a third great community name selection process is complete. NoMa's newest park is: Swampoodle Terrace!
From the beginning, Swampoodle Terrace led the other nominated names, Union Garden and Tiber Creek Park. In the end, Swampoodle Terrace garnered more than 20 percent more votes than the next highest vote getter, Union Garden.
As always, the NoMa Parks Foundation and NoMa BID are grateful to all the members of the NoMa community who participated in this process. Nearly 900 people voted for a name, and more than 200 people suggested names. We also want to thank our partners Director Delano D. Hunter Sr. and the staff at the Department of Parks and Recreation, and Councilmember Charles Allen and his Ward 6 team for providing support throughout the process. Councilmember Allen is already working on the legislation needed to make the name official.
Some of you may have noticed that construction of Swampoodle Terrace is underway. The Forrester team mobilized on site during the week of February 21st! We are hoping for an early fall 2022 opening -- assuming supply chains and weather permit. Please stay tuned for occasional updates about Swampoodle Terrace progress and other NoMa Parks updates.

This past holiday season, the #NoMa community came together to raise over $40,000 for The Giving Tree Project, a fundraising program benefiting The h3 Project, a local non-profit homeless outreach and service provider. Donations enabled the h3 Project to purchase and provide everyday essentials -- kitchen utensils, small appliances, bedding, and more -- for its clients who had recently moved off the streets and into housing.
Thank you to our partners, Wunder Garten and Sherman Gardens, and to the 60+ individuals and businesses who contributed to help NoMa neighbors during the holidays. We look forward to your continued support in 2022! Please keep The Giving Tree Project in mind as you plan your charitable donations in 2022.

Have you voted for Swampoodle II's Permanent Name? After receiving hundreds of responses, read below to learn more about the three names that received dozens of nominations. In order of the largest number of nominations, the candidates are:
1. Swampoodle Terrace – Many people commented that continuity with the name Swampoodle Park would be a positive feature, especially given the complementary nature and adjacency of the 2 parks.
2. Union Garden – Supporters of this nomination liked the implicit reference to nearby important places like Union Station and Union Market, as well as the fact that this park would be a geographic link between those places. Additionally, several nominations appreciated that the definition of “union” is about as uniting and joining; a role that they thought this park would serve.
3. Tiber Creek Park – This was the choice of people who want the name of the new park to acknowledge the existence of Tiber Creek, channeled into the Washington City Canal in 1815, and now flowing underground, mostly in tunnels in NoMa and beyond. Many building projects in NoMa have had to contend with the unchanneled flows of the Tiber Creek during construction. Mother Nature is hard to control.
