Mayor Muriel Bowser has called on District residents to help stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community. Practicing social distancing and staying home as much as possible is critical in our shared efforts to flatten the curve.

Therefore, DPR would like to provide every resident with a resource guide of online recreation content. Use the below videos and tips to have fun with your family and continue to sign up for DPR programs, which are now available online.
