East Potomac Park is in Washington, D.C.
It is a public place for many people.
Golfers and cyclists use it.
It is not costly.
President Donald Trump wants to change its golf course.
He wants it to be a top place for golf.
He went there with officials and architects.
He put his plans online.
Some people who live there are worried.
They think the cost will go up.
They think people will not be able to use the park.
Joe Foley is a retired lobbyist.
He is in his 70s.
He said the plan takes away history.
It stops people from playing at a low cost.
He just played nine holes.
It cost $36.
That included a cart.
The park began with a law in 1897.
The law said it is for people to have fun.
The golf course opened in 1919.
Trump told his plans in late 2025.
In May, Doug Burgum showed a picture.
He is the Interior Secretary.
The picture shows an 18-hole course.
He said it would be good golf at a low price.
Some people say the plan breaks the old law.
They took the case to court.
Jason Levitt is a cyclist.
He is 54.
He said the government plays by different rules.
He used the park for 20 years.
He rides there about four times a week.
Ryan Bates is 44.
He has a club card.
But he likes East Potomac because of its place.
He said golf should be open to all people.
Muriel Bowser is the mayor.
She is leaving soon.
She said the city can have top golf.
But people still need to use the park.
