Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park
For eighty years this was Washington’s premier amusement park till racial strains from the late 1960s caused it to fail. Now, 40 years later it’s refurbished, it’s painted, and it’s ready for action coms spring!

There’s not a lot of action here in the dead of winter at this come-back-from-the-brink amusement park. Founded in 1891, this facility changed many times and in many ways. Now it’s owned by the National Park Service and operated by Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture. This national park now hosts art, history, and environmental programs thru the year … when it’s not too cold. Even in mid-January you can see its charm below.
