DPR Opens the District’s Spray Parks Starting Today

dc_spray_parks

Ed. Note: I inquired with DPR and pools will open for regular weekday summer hours starting Monday (they have already been opened for weekends.)

From DPR:

“Due to the anticipated heat advisory this week, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) will open all spray parks one week early, starting today.

All spray parks will operate during their normal hours of operation from 10 am to 7 pm.
