is in the running for Coca-Cola's second annual "Live Positively - Best Park in America" contest.
The park, which sits on hundreds of wooded acres along the Potomac River, is a habitat for eagles and other migrating and non-migrating birds. Voting takes place online, and the top three vote getters receive $100,000, $50,000 and $25,000.Β
