Rock Creek Park is an oasis of nature in the heart of Washington, DC, where The Blackbyrds formed. The group members knew the park well, having spent lots of time there fishing, playing sports, and just getting away from the urban din. The song started off with a groove the band came up with when they were opening for the Commodores at a show in New Jersey. When they worked on the groove in the studio, drummer Keith Killgo came up with the "In Rock Creek Park" line, and the rest of the band joined in. "That rhythm made you feel the park," he told The Washington Post
