BID VideoCapitol Riverfront Video Online
Watch the BID's new 3 minute video now available online.  Working with Interface Multimedia, the Capitol Riverfront developed the video to market and promote the area. The video highlights the Front's accessibility, proximity to Capitol Hill, four new public parks, sustainable development and mixed-use lifestyle.  With a variety of footage shot in the neighborhood, the video also shows impressive animations of the Yards project on the river.  The video will enhance the BID's new branding and Be Out Front campaign.  If you would like a dvd of the video, contact Ted Skirbunt at tedskirbunt@capitolriverfront.org. 



 
Piers at Diamond Teague Park Open
The grand opening of the Diamond Park piers behind Nationals Ballpark was marked by the Sequoia docking at the 250 ft. commercial pier on Tuesday, August 4th.  Water taxis will dock at the commercial pier, providing a gateway to the Front and a unique entrance to Nationals Ballpark.  Gangplank Marina is managing the 250 ft. commercial pier that will be serviced by a number of operators.  Gangplank Marina is launching a website in the next few days listing the suggested ferry/charter boat operators with contact information for booking river cruises.  There are plans for hourly service for games and special events next year.  A second environmental pier for kayaks and canoes will open in the next few weeks.  The two piers are part of Diamond Teague Park - a 39,000 sq-foot public park at Potomac and First Streets, on the banks of the Anacostia River.Dock 1dock 2
