Cool off with us in the splash park at the newly-renovated Joe Cole Recreation Center. Once again, we'll start out at Turkey Thicket Recreation Center in Brookland and coast downhill along the Met Branch Trail. After a quick swing through Near Northeast, we'll bike up to the Rec Center for some noisy, wet fun in their new splash park. Afterward, anyone who's hungry can join us for lunch at The
Argonaut, one of H Street's most kid-friendly dining establishments.
more details below the break!
UPDATE: by popular request, we WILL be doing a meetup at J.O. Wilson!
We'll have
three four meetups
plus one optional meetup (depending on local interest): one at
Turkey Thicket in Brookland, one at
Met Branch Trail and R Street NE, and one at the
southern terminus
of the Met Branch Trail. If anyone from Capitol Hill or Near Northeast
would like an additional meetup in their neighborhood, we
can will also make
a slight detour to pick up more friends at the front of
J.O. Wilson Elementary School at 6th Street NE and K Street NE.
Be sure to bring swim diapers, sunblock, and anything else
your family will need for extended outdoor splashtime.
