Rock Creek Park Trail

Rock Creek Park is our backyard National Park. Many District neighborhoods border the beautiful park land providing a natural getaway from the fast paced urban life. Rock Creek Park challenges mobility for residents as it bisects a large swath of the District. The Rock Creek Park Trail provides a recreational and transportation amenity for bicyclists. However, the trail is in desperate need of  repair and upgrades. WABA will ensure that the Rock Creek Trail is repaired, widened, improved, and repaved, as outlined in the Rock Creek Park Multi-Use Trail Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment.
