The community playground, tot lot, and basketball court at Riggs-LaSalle Recreation Center (501 Riggs Road NE) are open again after several years of being closed to the community. The splash park is functioning as well. These are community spaces, and we as a community need to make sure they are being used for community purposes. Employees from the mayor’s office and DPR staff have done a good job addressing issues regarding individuals using the rec center for antisocial, non-community purposes. If there are any issues with accessing the playground or if any public safety concerns arise, please let the rec center staff know.
