Reservoir Park Recreation Center

This park is so nice, but we came to have our kids play and some kids were calling my children (3 girls) the b word and showing them the middle finger.. they were also throwing rocks at the street where cars drive through and throwing water at other kids and bikers. When my husband confronted the mom about it she was sitting in her car (drivers seat) drinking alcohol and her boys who terrorized the park were screaming at her too! If you see these people please report them.

Had a little picnic here with my sisters and our kids and it was perfect! The weather was like 80 degrees nice and sunny💕The park is really cute and the playground has sand which the kids loved. Plenty of space to sit, chill, and let the kids run around. Definitely a nice little spot for a family day outside 💕

Great playground and park, that they’ve elevated well so that it feels quiet and insulated from the chaos of north Capitol st. The playground has a ton of stuff and will be great when the shade trees grow in. The pool building is nice, but unfortunately they’ve made one side of the lap pool extremely shallow (3 feet) so you can’t actually do a tumble turn while swimming…a number of people and the lifeguards remarked on this as a problem.

Great new DPR Rec Center at the old McMillan Reservoir. Pool is a bit small, but still lovely. Graduated entry into a large shallow end of kiddos, and 3 lap lanes. The massive windows onto the courtyard outside is really nice. Make sure to enter off FIRST St. There's a one-way drive upto the door, and parking flanking the sides. There's also parking on First St. Nice ADA amenities. Ramps into the facility and all throughout. Even an elevator inside. Big playground next door, with space to host kid birthday parties, tables and such. You can rent the multipurpose room indoors for events. Staff was wonderful, especially the nice young man at the front desk (I didn't catch his name), and the friendly lifeguard, Arnold. Women's locker room were very spacious and clean. Bigger lockers, 2 changing rooms, and 3 showers (one ADA compliant). Overall a really nice facility, we'll definitely be coming again.

This new park is easily the coolest park in dc! I don’t love that there’s a sandbox, but the kids do, haha!!! There’s everything a kid could dream of, for all ages, and a huge grassy field, and a rec center. This is definitely the new spot. It’s very busy, but so cool!
