Today, DC Department of Parks and Recreation Director Clark E. Ray announced that “Wonderful Washington Winter,” the agency’s 2009 Winter Activity Guide, is now available to residents throughout the District. The guide, which features activities and events for children, teens, adults, adults with special needs, families, and seniors, was made available to the public weeks earlier than it has been in previous years.
The 2009 Winter Activity Guide includes: an updated directory of DPR facilities, a guide to educational and child care programs, a directory of recreation and enrichment programs, sports and fitness resources, a listing of senior services, and a directory of therapeutic recreation services.
"'Wonderful Washington Winter’ is a resource for our residents that features the best in urban recreational, athletic and leisure activities throughout the District of Columbia,” said Director Ray “From team sports, arts and crafts, and chess clubs to painting, computer classes and dance instruction, DPR has something for everyone.”
The majority of the programs listed in the 2009 Winter Activity Guide are free of charge to District residents; nominal fees are charged to Non-Residents. To register for DPR programs, one can visit the agency’s website at dpr.dc.gov and click on "Register for Programs."
One guide per family is available at agency facilities while supplies last. Winter programs begin on December 21. “Wonderful Washington Winter” can also be downloaded from the DPR website.
