Rendering: Chuck Brown Park
11 01 2013After months of competition, the District has selected the winning design for the new proposed Chuck Brown “father of go-go” Park. The plan for the million dollar development, targeted for completion by this coming summer, is by Marshall Moya Design and centers around a pretty iconic looking wood and steel band stand with a cheery blossom colored interior.
Plans also include more permanent interactive park features like outdoor musical instruments and memorial type information about the life of Chuck Brown and Go-Go culture in general. What do you think of the design?

I love DCMetrocentric, but I have one continuing complaint: Sometimes you do not give the location of the projects you write about. Chuck Brown Park sounds great, but there is no hint as to where it is intended to be built. I am sure I could do some research and find out, but it would be so easy for you to add a phrase to items like this one. Thanks !
It will be in Langdon Park/playground, just south of Rhode Island Ave, between Brentwood and Ridgewood.
I cant even imagine why he needs a park, we’ve only been shutting down elementary schools left and right, lets build a random park for some odd musical stylist!
