In 2017, the National Park Service completed a restoration project that re-engineered a total of 18 acres of turf between 3rd and 14th Streets to ensure preservation and access. The project included the installation of accessible granite curbs and compaction resistant soil. A new irrigation system was developed by installing drains and large underground cisterns to collect storm water which will be used to water the grass. A Turf Manager was hired to maintain the project, the first position of its kind in the National Park Service.</span></span></p> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived National Park Service, National Mall and Memorial Parks. <a href="http://www.nps.gov/nama/naturescience/mall-turf.htm">View Original</a>.
