(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) announced the 2015 Spring/Summer permits schedule.  The permit window dates for the upcoming season are currently posted on the DPR website on the Athletic Fields permit page.  DPR permits outdoor fields, courts, and indoor gymnasiums on a seasonal schedule, either Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer. 

Prior to each scheduling season, DPR opens a 'permit window' - a time period during which the agency will accept permit applications.  Applications received during the permit window are reviewed and applicants are notified of their permit status during the 'notification period'.  DPR will handle all late permit requests for fields and gyms in the order they are received.  Late permit requests will be processed after all on-time permit requests, submitted during the permit window, have been processed.

 

The 2015 Spring/Summer permit season is Friday, March 20, 2015 through Sunday, September 6, 2015. 

The permit window is as follows:

  • Permit Application Window: Monday, December 1 - 12, 2014
  • Application Deadline: 11:59 pm on Friday, December 12, 2014
  • Permit Notifications: The week of January 12, 2015

 
DPR schedules all athletic field and gymnasium permits in an order of preference:

  • DPR programs
  • DC public schools and public charter schools
  • DPR partners (organizations that have an executed DPR partnership agreement)
  • Private youth leagues and teams
  • Private adult leagues
     

It is important to remember the following facts when applying for a permit:

  • Please note that DPR's grass (natural turf) fields are offline through Friday, March 20, 2015.  Grass fields will reopen for the Spring/Summer season on Friday, March 20, 2015.  
  •  Artificial fields (synthetic turf) and indoor basketball courts and gyms are available to be permitted year-round. 
  •  Requests received after the permit window has closed will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis and applicants will be notified of their status.

Please sign up for DPR's Nixle text and/or email alerts for up-to-the-minute field closure notifications.
