We strongly encourage you to leave the car at home as there is limited parking. There are Ride-On and WMATA bus routes that pass the park.

At Only Make Believe, we create interactive theatre with children in hospitals, care facilities, and special education settings. Inspiring joy and imagination, our professional actors engage children with medically fragile conditions and developmental disabilities, fostering social and emotional growth.
Allow yourselves to unwind and create super hero masks, hats, and other kid-friendly giveaways. Everything you create will be used to help children escape into the world of “make believe” during our performances in hospitals, care-facilities, and schools dedicated to serving children with disabilities. No art degree required! Volunteers under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Please RSVP at the link provided.
