Spring-Summer Readiness Operations

The Department of General Services (DGS) performs Spring Summer Readiness Operations annually to reduce the likelihood of parks and other resources from being taken off-line for mid-season repairs.

In anticipation of outdoor activity at District owned public spaces, the Facilities Maintenance Division performs this annual preventative maintenance operation to address maintenance issues, conduct facility checks and inspections at community gardens, playgrounds, pool houses, parks, and dog parks across the District before the heaviest season of use to provide fun and safe recreational and education environments for residents and visitors to enjoy springtime activities.

This readiness operation and its activities begin in March and are completed before Memorial Day in May, pending no constraints.
