Bon Air Park (22205)
850 North Lexington St. Arlington, VA 22205
This playground won't win any awards, but it's a great spot bike riders. It also has decent morning shade. The lovely gardens, open space to run and the nearby creek to explore are nice pluses. 3/5 stars. Posted: 6/26/10

Burke Lake Park (Burke, VA)
7315 Ox Road Fairfax Station, VA 703-323-6600
There is a ton to do at this wonderful 800+ acre park and we only scratched the surface in our visit. There is a playground in the park (actually several), but the playgrounds aren't really the selling point. In fact, the one closest to the train and carousel is not that great, but the other park features more than make up for it. 5/5 stars. Posted: 6/06/10

Chestnut Hills / Harrison Street Park (22207)

This is a big, popular park in North Arlington. It's got lots to do for big and little kids and the little kid side is wonderfully shady. Big enough that it can be hard to keep up with multiple kids, but lots of a playground loving kid to enjoy. 4/5 stars. Posted: 4/18/11
