Young Park Planners - Activities for Summer
Our Ready2Play team created three activities for you to Design - Write - Explore during your summer. These activities are "responsive," meaning that there is an opportunity to share your final work with our planning team! Your shared products from these three activities will help inform DPR’s future planning for parks and recreation in DC and may be used in official DPR publications and featured on DPR social media and websites.
If you would like to share your final work, please take a picture of it or save it in word or PDF (if applicable to the activity) and upload it to the Ready2Play website as indicated in our activities or send it to ready2play@dc.gov.
Stay safe and have fun!
