Glover Archbold Park is a tranquil, forested greenway managed by the National Park Service in Northwest Washington, D.C. The park features miles of shaded footpaths along Foundry Branch creek, making it a favorite spot for hiking, trail running, and bird watching. Dense canopy trees create a serene, natural escape right in the middle of the city.
