Oxon Run flows through Ward 8 of Washington, D.C., on July 24, 2024. The stream begins in Prince George's County, Maryland, and eventually joins Oxon Creek before reaching the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. As it passes through Oxon Run Park in Southeast Washington, the stream is confined to a concrete channel due to flood control projects and urbanization in the 20th century. Originally a natural, meandering stream, Oxon Run and many of its tributaries were altered significantly, with some converted into storm drains. Established in 1971 on land previously part of the federally managed Oxon Run Parkway, Oxon Run Park now serves as a recreational area with sports facilities, trails, playgrounds, and the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center.
