Glover Archbold Park is a 183-acre, frequently-used, quasi-natural, stream-valley park in Northwest, Washington, D.C., on the western edge of Georgetown University and the Burleith-Hillandale, Glover Park, McLean Gardens, and Westchester neighborhoods. The park includes a historical Victory Garden adjacent to W Street, N.W as well as Foundry Branch from Van Ness Street, to Canal Road, along the Potomac River. Several temporary streams, some originating from springs, flow into Foundry Branch. One of the "finger parks" of Rock Creek Park, the Glover-Archbold Park is administered by the National Park Service (NPS). The removal of anything from the natural areas of the park is prohibited. In addition, to aid in preservation, the NPS prohibits off-leash dogs, bicycles, and motorized vehicles in the park. Dog walkers, hikers, and joggers often visit the park. Nature, Gardens, and Georgetown (2006) includes a chapter on the park.
