From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced that all 33 stand-alone spray parks throughout the District will remain open through September 26.
“Even though it’s September, we know there will still be some hot days ahead, and we are happy to able to keep our spray parks open to help people stay cool and have fun,” said Mayor Bowser. “We also remind residents that now is the time to sign up for DPR fall programming, where the fun will continue.”
All 33 of DPR’s stand-alone spray parks will remain open every day, starting September 7, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through September 26. Langdon Splash Park, which operates as part of the Langdon Park Pool, will close on Labor Day as scheduled. To find a DPR spray park near you, visit dpr.dc.gov/page/spray-parks.
“Responding to the continued heat and resident inquiries, DPR is pleased to extend our spray park season until the end of September,” said DPR Director Delano Hunter, “Earlier this year, DPR was very proud to be named the #1 park system by the Trust for Public Land. Keeping spray parks open for an additional month demonstrates the flexibility and responsiveness that helped earn DPR that distinction. DPR Spray Parks will be the place #WhereFunHappens for an extra month!”
Registration remains open for DPR’s full slate of in-person and virtual programs and events this fall. Fall programming includes:
Afterschool activities and youth development programs
Senior day programs, fitness classes, and line dancing
Youth sports, including boxing, cheer, football, futsal, soccer, and tennis
In addition to in-person programs, virtual offerings will include fitness classes and senior activities. For additional details and to register, visit http://dprprograms.com.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
