About DC Department of Parks and Recreation

Did you know that the DC Department of Parks and Recreation is an accredited agency? The Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) accredits park and recreation agencies for excellence in operation and service. Accreditation is based on an agency’s compliance with the 151 standards for national accreditation. To achieve it, an agency must comply with 100% of the fundamental standards and 90% of the commission's non-fundamental standards. DPR is proud of our accredited status.
