Dewey Local Park

Dewey Local Park was renovated in 2020. The park includes a multi-age-themed playground with a perimeter “Trike Track,” a picnic shelter, a 22,000-square-foot lighted dog park, a 2,400-square-foot outdoor fitness station, a street hockey/futsal facility developed in partnership with the Washington Capitals, and a soccer field.
