Dear Community Stakeholders:  

The DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the DC Department of General Services (DGS) would like to inform the community that the field at Stead Park Recreation Center (1625 P Street NW) is closed due to failing a G-MAX test of field hardness. The community will be notified when the field reopens after the issue has been remediated and passes a G-MAX test.
 
Residents are welcome to contact DPR's Customer Care Center at (202) 673-7647. The call line is open during regular business hours (9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday, and is closed on weekends and holidays. You may also contact us via email at dprcustomercare@dc.gov.

Stead Park was established by a private bequest from Robert Stead for the specific purpose of creating a playground for the children of Washington, D.C., in memory of his late wife, Mary Force Stead. It is a public park administered by the Department of Recreation and Parks with a small staff, and it is financially supported in part by funding from a private trust also created by Robert Stead.

Friends of Stead Park is a non-profit organization run by volunteers to coordinate community involvement, improvements and programming. Learn More
