A dedication ceremony is planned for this fall.
The date of the ceremony is not yet set, as it needs to be coordinated with District of Columbia government officials.
Councilmember Brooke Pinto introduced the legislation in May 2021, and several community leaders testified in the hearing for its passage.
Rebecca Coder Park became law on September 21, 2022.
