Hyattsville Begins Upgrade to The Spot Park Near Arts District

Hyattsville has begun an upgrade of The Spot park near the Arts District.

Located at 4505 Hamilton St., just south of the Yes! Organic Market parking lot near the  Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail, The Spot started in 2021 as an informal pop-up park where community events and concerts could be held.

It was the brainchild of the SoHy Co-op, a nonprofit group which helps support local businesses, with a grant made possible by Anacostia Trails Heritage Area.

The city is now upgrading the park. The south side will get a picnic pavilion, game tables, misters, kids’ play equipment and movable lawn seating. The north side of the park will be level and turned into a lawn for now.

There will also be bike parking and repair stations just off the Trolley Trail.

The park will be closed during renovations, which are expected to wrap up in the middle of the year. More work is planned for 2026, including a stage, landscaping and a walking path are expected.
