Visitors enjoy the newly constructed Miniature Golf Course at East Potomac Park that opened in the spring of 1931. Renovated in 1949 and again in the 1960s in its original location, the course retains some of its 1931 layouts and features including the stone well pictured above. In the background is the Field House, built in 1917-1920, as well as some of the city's oldest Japanese flowering cherry trees. East Potomac's Miniature Golf Course is one of the longest continuously operating miniature golf courses in the United States.
