From Rock Creek Conservancy:
“I am still buzzing with excitement over this month’s announcement that upper Beach Drive will remain permanently open to recreation. My thanks go out, once again, to Rock Creek Park (National Park Service) and to all the advocates who helped pave the way for this essential car-free open space. Together, let’s celebrate this historic decision!
Join us this Sunday, November 20 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for a Beach Party celebrating all the ways we can enjoy Rock Creek. It will also be a beech party, savoring the fragile forests that define our urban oasis.
The event will feature:
Music by DC Lance
Readings from DC Public Libraries
Soul Trak Outdoors
Bird walks led by DC Audubon
S’mores, hot chocolate, and other snacks
Scenic views
A gratitude tree
Invasive plant demonstration table
And much more!
We encourage attendees to use alternative transportation and walk, bike, or roll to the event! Golf carts, provided by the National Links Trust, will be available at Picnic Groves 8 and 9 to shuttle those with mobility limitations.”
