Also a part of this area is the Anacostia Museum, which operates under the auspices of the Smithsonian.
Fort Dupont Park is home to tennis courts, playing fields and an ice skating rink. In the summer, live jazz concerts are performed weekly. The annual Martin Luther King Birthday Parade runs in the community every April.
