DC Department of Parks & Recreation Reviews

Incompetence and disaffection. Nobody is accountable, not even for answering phone calls

I've had a great time at DPR, especially DPR Rec Day when we got to play Bubble Soccer for the first time! Thanks

I can't say enough good things about the people who work at DPR especially the coaches at the individual centers. WTG!

Have left several messages with DPR and no one has returned the call. I continue to call and get voicemail each time! Does anyone work there?

Does anyone work here?? Today is Thursday 12/28 and I've been calling and leaving messages since Tuesday with no return call.

Pools close because it's TOO hot? Not posted in your website. Always such a mess! When are you guys going to get it together?

I've called over 10 times and left messages. Nobody has bothered to call me back. Does anyone work there?

Worthless. Like all DC govt offices. Absolutely unconcerned about the public.

Very unprofessional I called to inquire about several positions this morning & been calling for a week to check the status of my applications & the customer service lady Vanessa I believe keeps saying the same thing they are reviewing applications. we are suppose to be helping our people & Dc is suppose to be uniting but they are not helping each other seek employment or going above & beyond to help or even do they job I m so disappointed!

DPR takes on an intergenerational approach with my family and many families like mine. I am a grandmother raising a grandchild. They generate many programs that are suitable for this type of family. As an example, DPR has various Swim Teams in all 8 Wards of Washington, DC. DPR not only organizes Swim Meets each week; in addition, transportation to the Swim Meets is also provided making it possible for families to engage in the swimmers activities. This also allows families to participate as time keepers or to volunteer their time and energies in various other and sundry ways. Personally, I was ecstatic to be able to CHEER MY SWIMMER ON TO VICTORY!!

Rosedale is the best, they have lots of activities for kids and adults.
