What's New at the Park?
Turtle Park Needs You!
Join the Board of Directors for Friends of Friendship Park (FOFP). The Board of Directors meet the third Thursday of each month at 8:00 PM at the Recreation Center. The Board of Directors makes decisions on how the money raised by FOFP will be spent. For the past nine years, FOFP has assisted DC Parks and Recreation with the "preservation and maintenance" of the Park. We focus on our yearly events, tree maintenance, playground equipment, tennis and basketball courts as well as the upkeep of the Rec Center. Our group is comprised of moms, dads, working and non-working parents. If you have an interest in Turtle Park, you are strongly encourage to attend the meetings. We need new members to keep FOFP and the Park flourishing.

At the Turtle Park Co-Op, young children are introduced to a
structured play setting with activities that engage the whole child -
mentally, socially, physically, and emotionally - in preparation for
entering the formal education system. Emphases are placed on socialization
such as learning to take turns; cognitive growth through music, painting,
and cutting; and gross motor development by running and jumping. 
May Fair will be held on Saturday, May 15th.
In
February 2007, Turtle Park lost its greatest supporter and advocate,
Karen Rosenthal. Karen has been a presence at the Park for so long. Her
strength, enthusiasm and humor elevated all of the lives she touched.
Perhaps you never met the woman behind the sandbox. You didn't have to
know her. If you know Turtle Park, you know Karen.
Do I need to reserve a picnic table for a birthday party?
