The picnic area, playground, and other public areas of the park will be open for picnicking and socializing during the dances. We will be working closely with the Park Service during this period to make your dance experience as pleasant as possible. During the winter, the ballroom is heated by space heaters and the dancers. There is no air conditioning or heating, so dress accordingly. Smoking, alcohol, and food are prohibited in the ballroom.
Soft drinks are available for purchase.
Parking at Glen Echo Park Please carpool whenever possible to ensure that parking is available for everyone. If the parking lot is full and it is not raining, you may park on the grass. Pull onto the grass and park in rows in order to allow for maximum parking. Do not block the grassy areas by parking on the curbs. The Foundation was formed several years ago to save the Park from destruction or commercial development.
