We make safe, affordable spaces to play.
Your support makes it possible.

Youth Sports for All. We initiated Youth Sports For All in spring 2021 and it has quickly become a vital community program, making after-school sports and summer camp programs accessible to dozens of kids each season. With the collaboration of our partner sports organizations, and the support of the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, DC Breeze, DC Fray, District Sports and individual donors, the program is free to all participants and when needed, we also provide individual sports equipment .

Disc Golf. In December 2020, we engaged local ANCs and civic organizations to survey the community to find out what new facilities they wanted. More than 200 people responded, and the number one request was for frisbee/disc golf. We made that suggestion a reality by installing a pop-up six-hole course adjacent to The Fields. It’s a modest, but very fun, example of our commitment to engaging community feedback to improve public green space.

Playing it Safe. CRYSP advocated to get The Fields safely reopened during the pandemic. Before indoor facilities were back up and running, we were hosting socially-distanced activities on the fields. By fall of 2021, groups were on the fields more than 170 hours per week. The Celebration Pavilion safely hosted graduation parties, fitness classes, concerts, church services, a health-and-wellness fair, homecoming dance, and more.

Thank you for helping us create these and future opportunities for our community.
