Trump announces planned D.C. site for massive sculpture garden
The project would honor American figures with statues and is planned to open around September 2028, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced that West Potomac Park will house the National Garden of American Heroes, describing the site as a "World Class Masterpiece" honoring figures including George Washington.
- Initially proposed in 2020, the project was revived this year as part of broader celebrations for the nation's 250th anniversary on July 4. Trump brought back the statue garden plan in 2025 amid plans to mark American independence.
- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revealed Thursday that renovations to the nearby East Potomac Golf Links will be overseen by Fazio Design, a firm that has designed multiple courses owned by the Trump Organization.
- Judy Scott Feldman of the National Mall Coalition cited environmental risks and frequent flooding, proposing "small-scale statues" along the National Mall as a more meaningful alternative to the current park site.
- The foundation plans to open the garden around September 2028, featuring life-sized statues of figures like Harriet Tubman and Kobe Bryant made of marble, granite, bronze, copper, or brass.
