Project Category: Public space activation
Description: The Well at Oxon Run, a 1.5-acre farm, outdoor classroom and community space, has been a huge asset for the Congress Heights neighborhood.

Following the roof's installation, the space has hosted yoga, chi gong and body therapy classes, as well as community drum circles and other events.
