Subject: Play DC! - Parks @ Rec Master Plan Needs Citizen Input

Dear Friends of DC Parks,

On behalf of the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and DC Office of Planning, please help us spread the word about the parks and rec master plan to your friends and neighbors!

You might have heard that the District is already in the process of renovating 32 playgrounds across the city to have an immediate impact on neighborhood quality of life.  Now we are using this effort as a stepping stone to launch Play DC! – The District of Columbia’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan Initiative.  This exciting project will establish a road map for the District’s parks and recreation system over the next ten years.   

Check out the project website at www.playdc.org to learn more.

We have just kicked off the evaluation of the city’s network of parks and recreation resources, and want all citizens to get involved!  We have created 3 major ways for the public to provide input:

1.       MindMixer Online Engagement Forum

Visit our Virtual Town Hall at www.letsplaydc.com!  (Please see attached document for more information).

2.       Citizen Survey

Take our Citizen Survey coming soon to www.playdc.org!  (Surveys will also be issued randomly via mail and telephone).

3.       Public Workshops

Attend any of the following events that are most convenient for you!

 ·         One City Summer Kickoff – Saturday, June 15^th @ RFK Stadium, Lot 7, 10 am–5pm.  We’ll be there with info about the Master Plan and free DPR swag – stop by and enjoy the start of summer!

·         Public Workshop #1: Monday June 17^th @ Deanwood Recreation Center, 7-9 pm.  Deanwood Recreation Center is located at 1350 49^th Street, NE, next to Deanwood Metro Station.

·         Public Workshop #2: Tuesday, June 18th @ One Judiciary Square, Old Council Chambers, 12-2 pm.  One Judiciary Square is located at 441 4th Street, NW, next to the Judiciary Square Metro Station.

·         Public Workshop #3: Thursday, June 20th @ Raymond Recreation Center, 7-9 pm.  Raymond Recreation Center is located at 3725 10th Street, NW, near the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro Station.
