Chevy Chase Recreation Center — Attraction in Washington

Today was an open house for the co-operative play and the teacher Ms. Bianca wasn't welcoming at all. We brought our little one and we didn't see on the website that parents shouldn't bring kids to the open house. Okay, sorry we didn't notice that on the website but this teacher was rude and she asked us to go out with our baby girl! Our baby was only watching the other kids and was curious to listen to the story time that one parent was reading to all other kids.

Most of the time they are broken and they just sit there getting rained on (see also: mosquitos). Parents think they are doing something nice by "donating" their toy to the park but I find it to not benefit the kids and believe the park would be better off without...

Great neighborhood park. Good range of play equipment toddlers through 10 year olds. Which may be a drawback, larger kids are moving fast in proximity to the children that are just figuring out how walking works, which sometimes leads to anxious parents/caregivers. Play area has padded rubber chip ground to reduce fall damage. Plenty of donated toys to share, but many are well loved. Small indoor space seems to be for scheduled preschool activities but there are public...
