Neighborhood Expert: Vienna playgrounds and parks

I often see requests for playgrounds or parks information from new moms, or people new to Vienna or sometimes people just asking for new trails to explore.

When my boys were toddlers we used to frequent the playground circuit to get some energy out. I wanted to pass along the information that lives in my head so residents can enjoy the plentiful opportunities around town to get outside.

If you have a kid who loves to throw rocks in the water, or perhaps an age gap where one kid wants to shoot hoops while another wants to go on a slide, either way, I created a map with details about each location and what they offer.

Looking for a new walking path with NO kids? I have that too.

Want a grassy open field to go toss a frisbee or go do an outdoor work, that’s included also.

There’s something for everyone.

I hope you’ll enjoy this resource as much I have enjoyed creating it. You can access it at www.ViennaPlaygrounds.com.
