President Donald Trump wants to transform East Potomac Park's golf course in Washington, D.C., into a world-class venue. Residents fear this could alter the park's historic character and affordability. The park, created by Congress in 1897, has served diverse visitors for over a century. Trump has already visited with plans and a golf architect, sparking concerns about increased fees and loss of public space. A lawsuit challenges the redevelopment, citing potential violations of the congressional act that established the park. Locals worry about the impact on the park's accessibility and the future of its bike paths.
