WASHINGTON — The Office of Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Department of Parks and Recreation announced Friday their plans to open some of the District's spray parks early this year.
The spray parks located in all eight wards will open early on Monday and registration for the DC Department of Parks and Recreation's 2023 summer programming will begin on Tuesday for aquatics programs, and Wednesday for all other programs. Registration will be open at noon on both days.
Summer programming opportunities are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“With temperatures starting to heat up, we’re excited to announce that the District’s spray parks will open early this year for residents to stay active, have fun, and stay cool,” Bowser said. “We are committed to providing ways, especially for our young people, to enjoy the best of DC by providing resources and programming that helps keeps them safe and engaged. Summer is just around the corner, and we hope families will take advantage of all the great summer programming available at our recreation centers, our schools, and through our community-based organizations.”
