Washington, D.C. (April 21, 2021) – As vaccinations continue and workers, residents, and visitors begin to return to downtown, the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID) welcomes them with opportunities to enjoy safe, socially distanced activities in parks throughout the neighborhood.

Beginning in May in Farragut Square and in accordance with CDC, National Park Service, and District of Columbia health and safety guidelines, the BID will kick off its Outdoor Office series, followed by the free outdoor exercise program, TriFit.
