About 'Turtle Park'

Friends of Friendship Park is a non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. Our mission is to assist the Washington, D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation in the maintenance and improvement of Friendship "Turtle" Park.

We have a formalized Adopt-a-Park agreement, which creates an arrangement under which organizations can help the DC Department of Parks and Recreation maintain city parks. Friends of Friendship Park has tax-exempt status under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, all contributions are tax-deductible.
