Expanding Community Access to Safe and Clean Recreational Space Act of 2025

The "Expanding Community Access to Safe and Clean Recreational Space Act of 2025" requires the District's Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to partner with DC Public Schools (DCPS) to open school recreational facilities to the public on evenings and weekends, outside of school hours. DPR must provide security and custodial services to ensure safety and sanitation, and establish an annual agreement with DCPS to set community use hours, signage, and protocols for school events. The program must include at least one facility in each ward, prioritizing neighborhoods with historical disinvestment, high crime rates, health challenges, and recreational gaps. This aims to shift the responsibility for facility maintenance from schools to DPR, expanding accessible recreational space without using school funds.
