What is “Play DC”?

Mayor Vincent C. Gray announced a new and exciting playground renovation project, the largest in the City’s history. Vision: “Play DC, is a multi-year effort to provide the District’s youth and adults with exciting, innovative, and inclusive play spaces.”

Why is this important?

DPR currently has just over 80 playgrounds, 32 of which are slated for renovation as part of the first phase of Play DC. Eight new playgrounds have been selected to receive renovations as part of Phase Two of Play DC. • Provide safe playgrounds for children living in and visiting the District. • Ensure playgrounds are accessible and inclusive for children and care

givers. • Increase health and wellness through natural and adventure play. • Foster community support for a well-loved playground. • Improve our built environment by being better stewards of our land. • Encourage volunteerism and partnerships at playgrounds.

What is a Play Space?

• It’s not just your typical playground. • It’s multi-generational – kids, teens, families, adults, seniors!!! • Play is for all abilities. • Play goes beyond traditional playgrounds with a focus on innovation and

imagination, and provides opportunities for multiple different experiences in the same space.

MOVE - a place to explore different types of play, with a focus on ranges of activity GROW - ranges of experiences and learning

BE GREEN - opportunities to experience the natural world
