@washingtondcgems: 7 DMV playgrounds that are actually worth the drive from DC 🚗 1️⃣ **Sophie & Madigan’s, Frederick** 🏰 Disney-style castle and hidden dragon, built in memory of two sisters. Great parking & bathrooms. Frederick is also worth a wander afterwards! 2️⃣ **Wizard of Oz, Upper Marlboro** 🌈 Yellow brick road theme, plus a nature center with turtles and a farm next door with animals to visit. There’s also mini golf, a carousel and more. Great parking & bathrooms. Easily a full day out! 3️⃣ **Wheaton Regional Park** 🎠 Huge slides, a carousel, and a train with a tunnel. Great parking & bathrooms. 4️⃣ **Cabin John, Rockville** 🚂 Shady, with a train and Porky the talking trash pig. Great parking & bathrooms. Perfect on hot days, but good all year round. 5️⃣ **Clemyjontri, McLean** 💛 Huge and truly inclusive, with a Liberty Swing and an accessible carousel. Great parking & bathrooms. 6️⃣ **Pleasant View, Gaithersburg** 🚲 A brand-new pump track for bike kids. Great parking, but portable toilets only. 7️⃣ **Douglass Community Center, Leesburg** 🎵 A Black history playground with a Hall of Heroes and a Selma Bridge. Great parking & bathrooms. Visit cute downtown Leesburg afterwards! 🚨 Trains, carousels and mini golf run seasonally, so check hours first. Do you have any more must-visit playgrounds for part 2?? Drop them below, please. #dcwithkids #dcplayground
