Department of Parks and Recreation Hours Expansion Amendment Act of 2023

This bill aims to extend the regular operating hours for all facilities managed by the District of Columbia's Department of Parks and Recreation. Under the proposed changes, parks and recreation centers would be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The legislation also requires the department to maintain sufficient staffing levels to support these extended hours without disrupting normal operations. The act would become effective after receiving final approval from the Mayor and completing the required congressional review period.
