Planning Actively for Recreational upKeep so Neighborhood Resources Elevate Communities (PARKSNREC) Amendment Act of 2025

This bill requires the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to improve transparency and planning for recreational facilities. Specifically, it mandates DPR to publish a real-time online list of accessible playgrounds and parks (including locations and accessibility details), notify residents immediately when these facilities close, and develop a 6-year capital improvement plan starting in 2027. The plan must prioritize facility needs based on community growth and full funding estimates, while annual surveys will assess facility conditions and standardize designs. These changes directly affect DC residents, especially people with disabilities who rely on accessible recreation spaces, by ensuring predictable maintenance and equitable access to parks and playgrounds.
