Deadline Friday for Comments on Future of Jones Point Park

The George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), part of the national park system, invites you to help chart the future of Jones Point Park. The National Park Service (NPS) will evaluate the existing condition and uses of Jones Point Park and, with public input, will develop a set of recommendations for desired recreational experiences.

Jones Point Park is located on the Potomac River, just south of Old Town Alexandria. It was a critical piece of the city of Alexandria’s history as one of the largest centers for shipping, manufacturing, and transportation in the nation. Its lighthouse, built in 1855, is the last remaining riverine lighthouse in Virginia.

Meetings were held last month, but comments may be submitted until Friday electronically at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/jonespoint (the NPS preferred method of receiving comments) or mail them directly:
