Summary

Description
English: A playground in Section D of Anacostia Park in May 2014 in Washington, D.C., in the United States. The Anacostia River flows in the foreground.


Also known as the "Anacostia Flats", this was the site of the encampment of the en:Bonus Army -- a group of penniless United States veterans -- in the summer of 1932. These veterans wanted early payment of a scheduled service bonus to help see them through the Great Depression. President Herbert Hoover ordered the Bonus Army dispersed. General Douglas MacArthur crossed the Navy Yard Bridge and attacked the encampment at night with mounted cavalry, tanks, machine guns, and flamethrowers. Several people were killed.

The large building on the hill behind is the Marbury Plaza Apartments, the only high-rise apartment building east of the Anacostia River.
