Friendship Park (a.k.a. "Turtle Park")
45th Street and Van Ness Avenue NW
Open: Through Labor Day, dawn to dusk.
Friendship Park in Tenleytown is affectionately called "Turtle Park" by locals, thanks to the turtle statues that grace the giant sandbox. Next to the shaded and enclosed playground is the sprayground. The sprayground is fenced, filled with communal water toys and ideal for toddlers and preschoolers. The water pressure is gentle, making the sprayground basically a big water table for little ones' enjoyment. Benches and picnic tables provide parents and caregivers spots to relax while the kids frolic.
"I bring my 3-year-old here four to five times a week. He loves it here. Turtle Park has a definite neighborhood feel," says Tenleytown father of three Neil Myer, 54.
