Key Points

This bill proposes changing the name of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., to Rock Creek National Park.
The goal is to give the park more recognition for its history and natural beauty, putting it on par with other famous national parks across the country.
The change would require the government to update all official maps, laws, and documents to reflect the new name.
This action does not change how the park is managed or how much money it receives, but it aims to help people understand its national importance.
