How we rateLamond Recreation Center in Washington, DC, is a public facility with a gymnasium, multipurpose room, baseball field and playground. Birthday gatherings use DPR's public group permit process. Your family must select an available room or site through DPR Reservations and submit the event details; the facility's amenities are not automatically included with a permit. Costs vary by the space and event. Confirm which activities your chosen space allows, suitable ages and food rules before committing to a party plan.

Party packages
Public facility or site permit rather than a hosted party package; choose an available space through DPR's online reservation system.
Allow time for the permit
DPR asks families to apply at least 30 days ahead, with applications submitted no later than two weeks before the event. Start the reservation process early enough to check your preferred space and date.
Our take
3.5/5Lamond Recreation Center is a good starting point for parents arranging a birthday around a reserved community space. The gymnasium and multipurpose room, with a playground outside, give families different spaces to consider. The useful choice comes from matching the gathering to the particular room or site DPR can make available.
Treat the reservation as the first planning decision. Confirm exactly which space it covers, then organize the celebration around that booking. Fees vary with the event and reservation type, and applications should go in at least 30 days ahead where possible. The center is closed on Sundays, so keep that out of indoor party plans.
