He wrecked the White House. He wrecked the Reflecting Pool. He wants to wreck the Kennedy Center and Memorial Circle. He's wrecked quite a few places and things. And now Hains Point is on the list of places he intends to ruin.

The Trump Administration's golf ambitions are threatening Hains Point—a classic recreational bike loop for both fast and slow riding.

Long celebrated as a destination for bicyclists of all ages and abilities, East Potomac Park is the site of Hains Point and the approximate 3-mile loop on Ohio Drive. On any given day, you will see families picnicking along the water, visitors taking scenic, leisurely rides around the park, and cyclists spinning by in efficient pace lines.

The park is also the home to hundreds of historic cherry trees, waterfront picnic locations, a public golf course and minigolf course, tennis courts, and more. Residents and visitors alike have been able to enjoy the park for more than a hundred years regardless of whether we come to ride, walk, golf, birdwatch, fish, picnic, or recreate in other ways.
