The Expanding Community Access to Safe and Clean Recreational Space Act of 2025 mandates the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to collaborate with District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to enhance community access to recreational facilities in every ward during evenings and weekends, outside of school-related activities. The bill emphasizes the need for safety and sanitation, addressing concerns that have previously limited public use of these facilities. To facilitate this, DPR is required to provide necessary security and custodial services, ensuring a safe environment for community members.

Additionally, the bill outlines that DPR must enter into an annual agreement with DCPS to establish community use hours and address logistical considerations such as signage and communication for special events. In selecting participating schools, DPR will prioritize sites that serve communities facing historical disinvestment and public safety challenges, while also ensuring at least one site is available in each ward. The program aims to alleviate the burden on schools to manage community recreational use and promote healthier community engagement through access to recreational spaces.
