Community Amenities

Wilson Aquatic Center

Escape summer heat and winter blues by rejuvenating in this $34.7 million state-of-the-art aquatic facility one block from Cityline and featuring four indoor pools. Staffed by certified lifeguards, the Wilson Aquatic Center is open year-round and offers master's practices and swimming lessons.

Turtle Park

Turtle Park is located at 45th and Van Ness Streets in the American University Park neighborhood.  Although its official name is Friendship Recreation Center, community members affectionately know it as Turtle Park because of the five large statues in the play area. The park is home to: a large enclosed play area with five play structures, swings, sand box and picnic tables; 2 basketball courts; 2 tennis courts; 4 baseball and softball fields, a Recreation center (with cooperative pre-school), and a spray park.

Tenley library

On the corner opposite Cityline, the all-new District-funded two-story library features separate spaces for adults, teens and children; 32 Mac computers; and free Wi-Fi Internet access.  With room for 80,000 books, CDs, DVDs and other library materials, it's like having your own media center just steps from your front door.

Fort Reno

Fort Reno -- a popular park, gathering place, and the City's highest point -- is the location of an annual free summer concert series, featuring bands from the area's Indie rock scene.  Not only a popular green space, Fort Reno is significant as the site of the only Civil War battle to take place in the District.  Fort Reno is just two blocks from Cityline.
