About this Event
Join the DC Trail Rangers and National Park Service for a local history tour of the surrounding areas of Anacostia Park.
Did you know that the history of Washington, DC can be told through its parks? As the first lands set aside by the Federal Government for public enjoyment, the Capitol Hill Parks can be said to be the nation's first national parks. This tour weaves the history of Washington, evolving park uses, namesakes and communities in a fun-filled bike tour that starts in Lincoln Park and visits Stanton Park, Seward Square, Marion Park, and Folger Park. The route is a short 6 miles on the city streets so comfort with riding in mixed traffic is encouraged.
This event is bring your own bike. If you don't have a bike and need to borrow one for the event please email [email protected] for a free Capital Bikeshare rental. All participants must wear a helmet while riding a bike. If you don't have a helmet please email [email protected] so we can be sure to bring one for you.
We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and comfortable, weather appropriate clothing, and bringing a reusable water bottle.
