Marvin Gaye Park is a linear park along the Watts Branch stream. It spans the Deanwood, Hillbrook, Capitol View, Burrville and the nebulous Northeast Boundary neighborhoods in Northeast, DC. The Park is rapidly becoming a center for cultural and education with events like the annual Capitol Hip Hop Soulfest, summer Read Out in the park, and Farmer's Market. The park has become an oasis in the midst of a neighborhood in need of revitalization of bordered up homes and businesses in empty storefronts. It got me to thinking, can a park be a catalyst for neighborhood transformation?
