Trump officials eye West Potomac Park, near National Mall, for Garden of Heroes [View all]
Source: Washington Post
President Donald Trump’s administration is eyeing West Potomac Park in Washington as a potential site for his planned National Garden of American Heroes, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive decision. The prominent riverside area sits south of the National Mall near the memorials to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr.
It was not clear which section of the park the White House was considering, but the southern tip of West Potomac Park — a short walk from the Jefferson Memorial — has largely been used for athletic fields. If the president sought to use those grounds to build his planned monument — a vast sculpture garden of 250 notable American figures — it would likely require an exemption under the Commemorative Works Act, the law restricting the use of space around some federal lands in Washington.
Trump spoke about his interest in building the garden, which has been described as a “vast outdoor park,” in an interview with the New York Times last week.
“That’s going to be most likely right on the Potomac River, … an area that is touching the golf course,” the president said, apparently alluding to the East Potomac Park golf course without specifying exactly where the garden could be built. “That hasn’t been a final decision, but it’s getting close.”
