Glover Archbold Park
Glover Archbold Park, Nature reserve trail network in Northwest Washington DC, United States.
The 183-acre park extends through Northwest Washington DC with natural surface paths following Foundry Branch, a tributary of the Potomac River.
Charles Glover and Anne Archbold donated the land in 1924 to create a bird sanctuary, leading to its registration as a National Historic Place in 2007.
The park contains a Victory Garden from World War II near W Street NW, representing a national food production movement during wartime.
The park opens during daylight hours year-round without entry fees, offering numerous trailhead access points near 44th Street and Greenwich Parkway.
Over 110 bird species inhabit the park, including Barred Owls and woodpeckers, making it a primary location for bird observation in Washington DC.
