The Harry Thomas Sr. playground, named for the late 3-term Ward 5 DC Councilmember, uses a “mathematical-sequence theme” derived from the Fibonacci mathematical sequences (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.), where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. When these numbers are used to create squares, the result is a beautiful spiral, similar to those found in fiddlehead ferns or certain mollusk shells. Other features include new curvilinear ADA-accessible walking paths; a community garden; a fitness loop; rain gardens and bio-retention areas; two new basketball courts; one new tennis court; new custom playground equipment; artistic elements such as interpretive signage and interactive art poles; a new solar-powered scoreboard; new adult fitness equipment and shaded picnic area. The playground also features a green roof pavilion and an extensive storm-water management system for its new community garden.
