| | Rock Creek Park (National Park Service) |
 | | Ultimately, the establishment of Rock Creek Park in 1890, “...for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of the United States” served as an inspiration for the creation of future National Parks. |
 | | Rock Creek Park is also a place to play soccer, picnic, hike, bike and rollerblade, play tennis, fish, horseback ride, listen to a concert, or attend programs with a park ranger. |
 | | You are encouraged to visit your national park, Rock Creek Park often, and to discover ways that you can help protect this special “common ground” for all who visit. |
