Fort Dupont Park

Washington, DC

"park for all seasons" describes the 376 rolling wooded acres that make up one of the largest parks in all of Washington. Picnics, nature walks, Civil War programs, gardening, environmental education, music, skating, sports, and youth programs are among the varied seasonal activities at this spacious area east of the Anacostia River. Among the traces of old roadways, oaks, beech, maples, and pipe cover the hillsides. squirrels and rabbits find homes along with the night foragers - raccoons and opossums. The pink lady-slipper orchid blooms in quiet shade. At the park's Activity Center, heart of much that goes on, park rangers lead workshops and walks. Neighboring schools bring young students for nature study and to learn about special people, cultural traditions, and holiday events. The center's showcases display uniforms and equipment of black soldiers who served the Union in the Civil War. Summer days are alive with children participating in a Junior Ranger program. Weekend concerts, free to all, draw people to the lawns around the outdoor summer stage. Fort Dupont Park is named for the Civil War earthwork fort located within the park. It is one of the forts that are collectively known as the "Fort Circle Parks", or the Civil War Defenses of Washington.
