The Planning Actively for Recreational upKeep so Neighborhood Resources Elevate Communities (PARKSNREC) Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the transparency and predictability of the Department of Parks and Recreation's (DPR) capital improvement plan (CIP). The bill mandates that DPR publish real-time information regarding the closure or removal of ADA-compliant and inclusive playgrounds and parks, as well as maintain a real-time list of these facilities on their website. Additionally, starting in fiscal year 2027, DPR is required to submit a recreation facility CIP to the Mayor, which will include detailed project recommendations, funding estimates, and community engagement processes. The legislation also emphasizes the need for standardized recreational designs and annual surveys of facility conditions to ensure compliance with federal accessibility standards.

Furthermore, the bill requires the Department of General Services to collaborate with DPR to develop a recreation facilities master plan and specifications. This includes conducting annual surveys to assess the condition of recreational facilities and ensuring they meet accessibility standards outlined in various federal laws. The PARKSNREC Amendment Act is designed to improve the quality and accessibility of recreational facilities in the District of Columbia, ultimately benefiting all residents, including those with disabilities.
