Ward 4 is a beautiful and diverse collection of neighborhoods stretching from the northeast neighborhoods of Lamond-Riggs to parts of the Chevy Chase community west of Rock Creek Park. Ward 4 stretches from its northern boundary (Eastern Avenue) with Montgomery County, Takoma Park and Prince George's County in Maryland to its southern border with Ward 1 on Spring Road, Ward 5 to the East and Ward 3 to the West.
Ward 4 is home to significant historic landmarks at Fort Stevens, Washington DC's only Civil War battlefield and Battleground National Cemetery in Brightwood; and Fort Slocum another significant Civil War landmark. The beautiful Rock Creek stretches through Ward 4 offering residents far and wide the opportunity to enjoy nature and to participate in a wide array of recreational activities for all ages. The Carter Barron Amphitheatre, a 4,200 seat outdoor venue located in Rock Creek Park, also brings national and international arts and entertainment attractions to the heart of Ward 4. The Historic Takoma Theater offers great potential for even more arts and entertainment opportunities for Ward 4 residents. And don't forget world-class tennis- the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center attracts world-class players and amateurs every year. We have it all in Ward 4!
Georgia Avenue is Ward 4's greatest commercial corridor. The 3.5 mile stretch in Ward 4 offers the greatest opportunity for economic revitalization in the heart of the Ward. Developing shopping and dining opportunities are also key for Kennedy Street, Upshur Street and 14th Street, along with 4th Street in Takoma and Riggs Road in Riggs Park. Many wonderful small businesses have invested in these corridors and we look forward to welcoming even more businesses to the Ward so that our residents can live, shop, dine, work and play right here- in Ward 4!
