BNCA Member Meeting
From Vacant to Vibrant! Go Play DC!
What if we could transform underused spaces in Brookland into beautiful, vibrant places for recreation, sports, and community gatherings?
Join the Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association (BNCA) for an inspiring conversation with Charles “Chuck” Barnett, Interim Executive Director of Go Play DC, the nonprofit organization behind the stunning recreational spaces at The Fields at RFK.
Go Play DC has demonstrated how overlooked urban spaces can be transformed into attractive, welcoming recreational facilities that bring people together. Chuck will share the story of The Fields at RFK, showcase what’s been accomplished, and help us imagine what similar opportunities might look like right here in Brookland.
What could we create in our own neighborhood? Come be part of the conversation!

The Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association (BNCA) holds general membership meetings once per month, on the third Tuesday of the month — except in August, November, and December.
In August and December we take a break from regular meetings. In November, we hold our regular meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. Sometimes our meetings are in person, other times over Zoom.
You do not need an account or the Zoom app to join a Zoom meeting. We have taken some precautions, however, due to security concerns with online meeting platforms. If you did not receive the meeting information to join or you need help joining, please contact us.
In general, we will record our meetings. If not, our recording secretary will take minutes and those will be posted to the website. All participants will be muted except when speaking to avoid disturbances.
