Description
In 1942, the Washington Post reported the allocation of $32,800 to the Federal Works Agency (FWA) for work on the Bundy Recreation Center in the district’s northwest quadrant. It is unclear whether funds were designated for new construction or improvements.
Today, the site is known as Bundy Park, with a baseball field, soccer pitch and dog run. It appears to have been renovated in 2012. It is likely that the baseball field has its origins in the New Deal work of the early 1940s.
