Rock Creek Park is a large forest park running right through the city, with a bubbling creek, tall trees, and miles of trails. It is one of the biggest woodland parks inside any American city.
It is loved as a green escape where families hike, bike, and spot deer and birds. A nature center and planetarium make it a fun place to learn about the outdoors.
Deer, foxes, turtles, and many birds live among the trees and along the creek.
Families can hike shady trails, ride bikes, or visit the nature center and small planetarium.
The park is a cool, quiet forest where you can hear the creek splashing over the rocks.
