Prohibited Activity on DPR Property
Illegal activity, including the use of drugs or the consumption of alcohol, fires, automotive work, parking on grass or in unauthorized areas, consumption of alcohol, gambling, the possession or use of unlawful substances, and the possession or use of explosives, firecrackers, or firearms (or weapons of any type), smoking is prohibited.
Hours of Use
The 10th Street Park is closed and secured by DPR Park Rangers at sunset. No after-hours use of the park is permitted.
Dogs
The 10th Street Community Park welcomes leashed dogs. Per the Department of Parks and Recreation, dogs are NOT permitted on playing fields, children’s play areas, flower beds, bushes/other plantings, or water features. Working service animals are exempt from pet regulations. Appropriate signs are posted in and around these areas giving the public notice of these policies. DPR tries to enforce these policies with communication and networking through community meetings rather than invoking MPD to write citations. However, visitors may receive fines if they violate DC leash laws on DPR properties.
PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS.
Rules and regulations are subject to change. To view the complete list of the rules and regulations, visit the DC Department of Parks and Recreation website.
