Welcome to Friends of Forest Hills Playground

Forest Hills Playground is located on Chesapeake Street, NW Washington DC between Connecticut Avenue and 32nd Streets. Friends of Forest Hills Playground, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization run by volunteers who are neighborhood parents. Founded in 2000, our goal is to help support DC Department of Parks and Recreation in maintaining this beautiful playground.

In 2000-2002, we helped raise more than $20,000 to completely renovate the entire playground with all new equipment, picnic benches and trees. Now, we raise money for park maintenance and improvements, including fresh sand and wood chips, and replacing old equipment. We work closely with DPR to communicate needed repairs and maintenance in order to keep the playground clean, safe and beautiful. We also organize seasonal cleanups and various social events, including a popular annual Halloween Party and Ice Cream Social.
