Our take
3.5/5Fort Stevens Recreation Center has useful scope for a birthday built around play, with a playground and tennis alongside a multipurpose room. That range gives families different directions to consider, especially when the group wants an activity and a place to gather within the same center.
Start by deciding which space matters most to your party, then request it through DPR permits. Having facilities at the center does not establish what a particular reservation includes, so confirm that before setting the schedule. The permit charge depends on the event and reservation type, making the choice of space part of the budget decision too.
