The most frequently used courts are Turkey Thicket in NE, Palisades in NW and Jefferson Middle School in SW, but there are many other locations throughout the city. Indoor access changes in the summer because of the DC Public Schools programs for children. We will update with those calendared changes as soon as they become known each year.
See below for a full list of locations, times where applicable, and other descriptors for each location. Note that all DPR recreation center sites require registration to play via DPR’s website, so go to this web address, enroll with DPR, and select the sites and programs at which you want to play:
