FEATURED THIS MONTH
36 Kyle Johnson writes about Fort Dupont Ice Arena’s big comeback. The National Park Service nearly closed the arena in the mid-1990s due to underuse; today, the arena is booked to capacity on a daily basis and plays host to over 10,000 kids annually through its popular skating programs.
