Rock Creek Bio: An Oasis in the City - Rock Creek Park is truly a gem in our nation's capital. This 1,754 acre city park was officially authorized in 1890, making it the third national park to be designated by the federal government. It offers visitors the opportunity to escape the bustle of the city and find a peaceful refuge, recreation, fresh air, majestic trees, wild animals, and thousands of years of human history. Some of the 99 park sites include Civil War fortifications, a working grist mill, colonial houses, and multiple triangles, circles, and squares (some with statues and some without).
