  • Are these details incorrect?

  • The short nature trail here is only 1-mile (1.5-km) long (see Rock Creek Park) so it is easily negotiated by children. Many native species can be spotted en route, including foxes, racoons and deer. There is also a small planetarium. A number of activities that appeal to children, including arts and crafts workshops, are scheduled throughout the year. On a sunny day, this is also a great place to bring a picnic, and enjoy one of the city’s truly natural environments. In other parts of the park there are also tennis courts and horse riding trails.
