Alethia Tanner Park

Situated directly behind the Federal Express facility and near the SiriusXM building, this 2.5-acre green space functions as a versatile =community hub= that bridges the gap between active transit and leisure. The site is physically anchored by the Metropolitan Branch Trail, providing a scenic backdrop for joggers, bikers, and commuters catching a brief respite. Beyond the standard park amenities—which include a playground and dedicated dog park—the area regularly hosts free community events. The grounds are frequently activated by art installations, festivals, and live music, transforming the lawn and small stage area into a local gathering point for neighborhood celebrations.
