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.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
