NW DC has MANY times the amount of parks per square mile than anywhere in NoVa, and most neighborhoods have at least one park that is walking distance. Yes, Clemyjontri is an awesome park, but I'd rather live somewhere where we can walk to a park or if we want to drive, have several different park options in under 10 minutes. I'm guessing that from many places out in Tysons, the nearest park could be way more than a 10 minute drive away.

I live in Tysons (Pimmit Hills) and there are three parks in walking distance from my house, two of which have playgrounds. One of them (Olney Park) is completely fabulous with sports fields, big playground, swings, etc. We are about to go for a walk right now.
