Frequently Asked Questions

If Events DC is the owner of The Fields, what does CRYSP DC do?
CRYSP DC is a grassroots-initiated nonprofit organization of community advocates of the conversion of unused space to usable, accessible playing fields in Washington, DC. In spring 2019, Events DC, the owner of The Fields at RFK Campus, awarded CRYSP DC the contract to operate The Fields. We oversee the daily scheduling and operation of the facility for the coordination of amateur sports programs and community activities.

What else does CRYSP DC do besides operate the The Fields?
Check out our Youth Sports For All program. We help enroll youth in high-quality after-school and summer youth sports programs.

I have an idea for a project.
We want to hear about it! Please contact Anne Corbett.

Why’d you change your name?
Great question! We started as Capitol Riverside Youth Sports Park, with the acronym CRYSP. Now that the park we envisioned has been named The Fields at RFK Campus, and we do more than just advocate for/operate The Fields, the original name is no longer relevant. But people know and like “CRYSP” and so do we. So we added “DC” and now we are CRYSP DC—a recognizable name that is no longer short for anything.
