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

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 Best Buy and the
metro, 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
Bayard Park
Fort Bayard Park features an expansive green
area plus tot lot/ playground.
Maintained by the National Park Service, the
park is bounded by Western Avenue, River Road, and Fessenden, 46th, and 47th Streets, NW.
Of historic interest, Fort Bayard -- named
after Union Army cavalry commander Brigadier
General George Dashiell Bayard (pronounced Buy-ard)
-- was one of 68 enclosed forts and armed
batteries erected to defend
Washington, D.C. from Confederate incursion
during the Civil War. Although there are no visible signs of the fort remaining, the park continues to be of historical interest as well as serving as a neighborhood recreational area.
