Department of Parks and Recreation Hours Expansion Amendment Act of 2025

This bill requires all District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) facilities to open from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays, expanding current hours that previously closed facilities on Sundays. It directly affects District residents who use DPR-managed parks, recreation centers, athletic fields, and aquatic centers, enabling Sunday access to programming and spaces. The bill mandates these specific Sunday hours without restricting DPR from extending hours further, while maintaining existing Monday-Friday (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) operating schedules. This is a concrete policy change to increase facility accessibility, not a speculative outcome.
