go for gold DPR is Going for Gold in FY 2020. To achieve gold, we must commit to elevating our performance in all aspects of our work. Phase one of that elevation is quite literal, as we relocate our operational headquarters to a building that represents the gold standard office accommodations. It’s time to Go For Gold DPR!

why we’re moving Our agency operates and manages the largest network of recreational facilities in the DC Metropolitan area, and provides one of the most expansive recreational program offerings in America. It’s time we have a headquarters that measures up to an agency of that caliber.

Because we are the driving force behind the #1-rated park system in the U.S., we need a centrally located workspace that allows for maximum logistics efficiency. As leading practitioners in DC recreation and programming, we need an expansive, open workspace that fosters creativity and collaboration. And because we are the agency Where the Fun Happens, we need a modern workspace that reminds us that it’s OK to have fun.
