Families can plan a birthday gathering through DPR's permit process, with fees based on the event and reservation type.

If swimming is part of your plans, guests join the general public during public pool hours; the pool cannot be rented privately for a party.

Planning a room gathering
DPR requires a permit for organized events involving more than 10 people, including birthday parties. Confirm which room or activity space your permit covers before making plans around the center's facilities.
Our take
3/5Takoma makes sense for parents who want to organize a birthday around a community room and familiar activities. The indoor pool and outdoor courts give families several possible directions, though the space covered by the permit needs confirming. A parking lot and Red Line access are useful when guests arrive separately.
The community center's weekday hours are the main scheduling constraint for a birthday gathering. Swimming also means sharing the pool with the public. We would choose Takoma for a family comfortable handling the arrangements and applying for a permit well ahead of the date.
