Summary
| Description |
English: Looking north through the middle of Volta Park in Washington, D.C., in the United States.
Volta Park was created in 1909 on top of the Prebyterian Burying Ground. (Some 2,000 bodies remain there.) The park was created at a time when there was a national movement to create playgrounds and parks in cities throughout the United States in the belief that "cities were bad for you" and "you needed to commune with nature in order for democratic values to be instilled in you". The city paid $30,000 ($787,000 in 2014 dollars) for the land and another $5,000 ($131,2500 for playground equipment. A 2,441-square-foot recreation center with small swimming pool was built there in 1949, and in 1979 two basketball courts and two tennis courts were added. In 2004, the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) rebuilt the rec center for about $400,000. In July 2013, a new $400,000 playground opened in the park. |
