## Resource

A historic public park in Washington D.C. is under fire as plans emerge to turn East Potomac Park into a luxury golf destination — sparking outrage from locals who fear it will price out everyday residents and betray the park’s original mission of universal access. Established by Congress in 1897 and opened in 1919, the park was meant for all people, regardless of income or background. Now, with President Trump backing the transformation and renovations slated to begin in September, critics argue the move ignores the law and rushes development without community input. A lawsuit has already been filed claiming the project violates the original congressional mandate, while the administration fights back over legal standing. As the city grapples with this tension between elite recreation and public access, the fate of this beloved green space hangs in the balance — and the debate echoes across the nation’s capital.
