Hardy Recreation Center is a great community park with many amenities. It features beautiful playgrounds for both little and older kids, with climbing options, tall slides, swings, and a splash pad. The park also offers a field, tennis and basketball courts, outdoor exercise apparatuses, workout stations, a dog park, and a community garden. There are plenty of benches, a picnic area, and public bathrooms. With lots of shade and easy street parking, it is one of the best summer playground options in the city, serving the neighborhood well.
Beautiful playground and splash zone. Nice large field and basketball courts. DCPR issues permits for the use of the soccer field, frustratingly some private groups will play sports like baseball right up to the boundary line. That's more a reflection on the quality of the neighbors rather than the Rec Center

Nice facility. Just be aware facility may be locked with no access to the restrooms or porta potty.

Great park, great activities, great dog community! Serves the neighborhood well for youth sports, outdoor exercise apparatuses, kids playgrounds, and tennis/b-ball courts.Would be a shame to lose such a great community park, since these almost never get made after other things are built on top of them.
