Im trying to triangulate 3 families- Chevy Chase, Springfield VA, and Wolftrap area for a playground meet up on a weekend morning (9ish).
Trying to use the "search along route" feature on google maps but are there suggestions for a fun park/playground around Tysons that would work? Am shade would be awesome but not a requirement. Thanks! |

| Meadow Lane Park in Vienna is very shady with lots of trees. It’s just off Nutley, so not the Tysons end of Vienna. |

Agree with Vienna.
Clemyjontri doesnt have much shade and it’s really spread out. It’s in MD but Cabin John park in Rockville is super nice and has lots of shade, picnic tables and a train. I personally would drive there from Springfield for a meet up with friends. |

There’s a free app called Playground Buddy that will show you all the playgrounds in a given area. That said, it’s kind of hit or miss. It relies on user input, so some playgrounds are well documented with lots of helpful info, while others have nothing.
Yelp is also helpful for this. |

| What about Glen Echo Park in MD? It's not really near Tyson's but if Clemyjontri works coming from Springfield, it's not a whole lot further. The playground isn't really shaded but the park has a Carousel, an "aquarium," and puppet shows on weekend mornings. |
