[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't even know there was a golf course. I haven't gone in Rock Creek since Chandra Levy was found :(--a woman[/quote]
Well, that’s your choice. [/quote]

Yes, it is. I wouldn't never walk or jog there or Glover Archbold alone as a woman, or likely as a man. They found other bodies in Rock Creek while they were searching for Chandra (who they found eventually).[/quote]

Yes but you’ve never gone on a walk or hike with another person? [/quote]

Does anyone who doesn;t drive use Rock Creek? I'm from DC and I've only gone to that little book a BBQ area on the side for school events. I've never gone "in". How do you get to the golf course and horse stables and walking trails without a car? I'm from DC. Maybe my parents took me? Can't really remember. For me it's a nice lung for the city, like central park. I like looking down at the trees from bridges. It makes getting across town inconvenient. It's not a park I use. I use other parks way more; that's why I worry when development encroaches on the smaller, more accessible green spaces. But sure, I'm glad it's there. Again, I don't use it and I wouldn't feel safe walking most parts alone. And no, I've not walked or hiked Rock Creek with anyone else. Is this a thing?[/quote]

yes it's a thing! i take my kids there on hikes ALL the time. During the pandemic we went every week. they know their way around the paths and can get to pierce mill/the horse stables/that big open field. I do have a car and drive and park. When I lived closer to Columbia Heights/Mt. P I would walk/run in there a lot, though. There is a really sweet spot near Mount Pleasant that always feels safe. [/quote]
