[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m OP, thanks for all the feedback. We wandered around the neighborhood quite a bit yesterday with our kids to explore. I was a little struck by how empty the playgrounds were. Is that typical or more of a summer thing? Do people mostly stick around home since they have yards? [/quote]

That's absolutely a summer thing. Once the kids hit 4th or 5th grade, they are also congregate at the parks after school. A lot of people are out of town and this weekend was a big turn over weekend for kids who do overnight camps. [/quote]

I think it’s a summer thing or a weekend thing. Parks have kids with nannies during the school year in the morning or after elementary dismissal at 3:45pm. Westover and Lacey Woods usually have BD parties and sports on the weekends, but not in the peak heat of July.

On Sunday you’ll find many people at the Cardinal Elementary playground next to the Westover Farmers Market - or Cherry Hill park on Saturday in Falls Church for their market. Lots of families are on vacation this week, but anecdotally when I had toddlers and pre-schoolers the playgrounds were often empty on Sunday before 2 or 3pm because people go to church and then have lunch.
