With 430+ open houses happening throughout the District, buyers have no shortage of options to explore. Warmer weather is settling in, making it an ideal time to get outside, tour neighborhoods, and take in everything the city has to offer. And with Earth Day just behind us, it’s the perfect reminder to appreciate not just the homes themselves, but the communities and green spaces that make DC such a great place to live.

“Dear PoPville,

Have you heard anything about the reopening of the recreation facilities on 9th Street (dog park/basketball court/skate park). I have gotten no information from the ANC, the Council 1 Reps or the DC Parks Department. Looks ready to go.”

Another reader writes: “Shaw dog park is still not open despite the city advertising that it was opening the end of august.”

Shaw Dog Park writes: “We are working to remain in touch with @DCDPR and will share opening details when we have them.”
