1. Margaret Peters and Roumania Peters Walker Rose Park Tennis Courts Marker
We honor Margaret Peters and Roumania Peters Walker, two sisters who grew up around the corner in the 2700 block of O Street, NW, and who played tennis on these courts from the 1930s through the 1980s.
The Peters Sisters taught tennis to thousands of children on these courts, and across the city, extending to them life lessons and the meaning of humility.
We are proud to call these two women neighbors.
Erected 2015 by Friends of Rose Park, Inc.
