Beloved Rock Creek Park Horse Center gets a new operator
The much-beloved Rock Creek Park Horse Center in Washington's Northwest neighborhood will have a new operator under a deal made by the National Park Service, after months of worry among riders that it would shut down amid financial struggles.
The horse center's 10-year contract with Guest Services Inc. of Fairfax, Virginia, was set to expire at the end of 2028, but the Park Service approved a 'transfer of the concessions contract' to Metropolitan Equestrian Team of New York. The new deal begins next Wednesday, Park Service officials said in a statement last week.
