The Department of Parks and Recreation Field Priority Access Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance access to outdoor athletic fields for youth sports leagues in the District of Columbia. The bill establishes a program that allows certified community-based youth sports organizations to have priority access to both Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) fields during peak times for practices and games. To qualify for this priority access, organizations must be non-profits that serve youth, do not restrict participation based on ability, and have provisions for low-income families. The bill also mandates that these organizations maintain the fields' safety and cleanliness.

Additionally, the legislation amends existing laws to create a new permit program for outdoor field use by these certified organizations and reorders the priority for permitted uses of recreational spaces. It ensures that DCPS fields are made available without imposing undue burdens on school staff and prohibits charging custodial or security fees for field use. The bill emphasizes the importance of youth sports in the community and seeks to address the growing demand for field space by maximizing the use of existing facilities.
