Wudnert Garten

Wunder Garten, inspired by the beer gardens of Germany, opened in 2015 as a pop-up beer garden that quickly became a cornerstone of the North of Massachusetts (NoMa) neighborhood.  A community gathering place for friends and family, Wunder Garten has a carefully curated selection of German and craft beers and a well-regarded wine and liquor selection.  Open year-round, Wunder Garten provides a welcoming and relaxed outdoor experience – they put in as much effort in cultivating our garden as we do in selecting their beers. All guests must be 21+. 

Union Station

Union Station D.C. is a superbly restored, historic, mixed-use, intermodal transportation and shopping center located just blocks from the U.S. capitol Building. Union Station D.C. is one of the most iconic destinations in Washington, D.C.

Alethia Tanner Park

Alethia Tanner Park achieved its identity, as did NPF’s other parks, through a call for suggestions from the community and a subsequent community vote. More than 2,100 people participated in online and direct mail polling that led up to the naming and eventual dedication of Alethia Tanner Park.

Alethia Tanner, who was born into slavery in Maryland in the 1780s, purchased her freedom in 1810, as well as the freedom of many family members. She was a strong proponent of educational initiatives for African Americans in the District. In addition to supporting several schools for free African American children through her entrepreneurial ventures, including a produce stand in Lafayette Park next to the White House, she funded the education of family members who would later become prominent leaders in the city’s education scene. In March 2019, Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie introduced legislation to officially name the park “Alethia Tanner Park,” and the D.C. Council passed the legislation later that year.
Major functions of this park include: large lawn, playground, dog park, gardens, bioremediation meadow with a boardwalk, plaza areas, performance area adjacent to a large gently sloped lawn for audiences, cafe space with seating, and connections to the Metropolitan Branch Trail.

Swampoodle Park

Swampoodle Park is the first park that NPF delivered to the neighborhood. While the park’s siting was not part of a master plan and was based on an opportunistic sale, it has turned out to be one of NoMa’s greatest success stories. Major functions of this park include: children’s playground, dog park, and public seating.
