“No DPR fitness programs for the summer?”

“Dear PoPville,

Earlier this week, registration opened for DC Parks and Recreation summer programs. The usual list of fitness classes (strength training, Zumba, yoga, spinning, etc) typically available throughout the year were not available at all for this summer. There is plenty of pickleball programming, however (48 sections).

Reaching out to the fitness program manager has not yet yielded answers.

Is this due to budget cuts? Or is this a citywide initiative to get everyone playing pickleball?


would be quite the turnaround in that pickleball department…

I sure hope these cuts aren’t permanent.”
