What  is  “Play  DC”?    

Mayor  Vincent  C.  Gray  announced  a  new  and  exci6ng  playground  renova6on  project,  the  largest  in  the  City’s  history.      Vision:  “Play  DC,  is  a  mul--­‐year  effort  to  provide  the  District’s  youth  and  adults  with  exci-ng,  innova-ve,  and  inclusive  play  spaces.”    

Why  is  this  important?      

DPR  currently  has  just  over  80  playgrounds,  32  of  which  are  slated  for  renova6on  as  part  of  the  first  phase  of  Play  DC.      Eight  new  playgrounds  have  been  selected  to  receive  renova6ons  as  part  of  Phase  Two  of  Play  DC.        •  Provide  safe  playgrounds  for  children  living  in  and  visi6ng  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  be_er  stewards  of  our  land.    •  Encourage  volunteerism  and  partnerships  at  playgrounds.

What  is  a  Play  Space?    

•  It’s  not  just  your  typical  playground.  •  It’s  mul6-­‐genera6onal  –  kids,  teens,  families,  adults,  seniors!!!  •  Play  is  for  all  abili6es.  •  Play  goes  beyond  tradi6onal  playgrounds  with  a  focus  on  innova6on  and  

imagina6on,  and  provides  opportuni6es  for  mul6ple  different  experiences  in  the  same  space.
