Fort Dupont Park was one of several historic sites that defended Washington, DC from Confederate attack during the Civil War. Today, there are no remains of the actual fort, but the 400-acre site is one of the city’s largest parks and protects an important sub-watershed of the Anacostia River. Fort Dupont Park is a popular place for picnics, nature walks,, gardening, environmental education, music, skating, sports, and ranger led Civil War programs.

Location

Fort Dupont Park is located in Southeast Washington, DC. It is southeast of I-295, north of Pennsylvania Ave., east of Branch Ave. and west of Ridge Rd. The concert stage is located along Fort Dupont Dr., just east of the intersection of Randle Circle and Minnesota Ave. SE. Parking is available on F St. and at the Fort Dupont Ice Arena at 3779 Ely Pl. Se.
