I really enjoy Fort Dupont Pk every time I visited. Well kept, plenty of Rest rooms. I ended my summer with the "Chuck Brown Day" event. It was well put together, very enjoyable for all ages.

My dog and I seemed to have the hiking trails all to ourselves this morning(besides a couple of deer families) which was a real treat! The wooded area was quite and beautiful. Although it seems like the trail maintaine could be better in some places and there was some illegal trash dumped near the community garden.

Beautiful trail in the heart of the city. PSA: took my husky here and he walked out with over 40 deer ticks on him. Make sure your pet is up to date with tick meds if you choose to come out here!

Nice walking trail. Very clean and maintained. It's not far from home. It would be nice to have seating and perhaps picnic areas along the trail

This was a great place to have Chuck Brown day. This was s huge park. You had to go a great distance from the street parking to the actual event stage. They had carts to carry us down. Plenty of tables throughout the park but you have to bring your own grill. Didn't see any restrooms in the grilling area.
