Hayes Park Sprayground and Lyon Village Park Sprayground in North Arlington are a hit with kids and parents alike. Hayes is the larger of the two and is partially covered by shade trees and surrounded by benches. The sprayground's design is based on the solar system, making the surface a kinesthetic learning experience. "We love going to Hayes Park in Arlington. It's a pretty cool place to hang out in the heat of the summer," says Suzie Phipps, 35 of Annandale.

Lyon Village Park's sprayground is smaller but also primed for water play. Monty Cox, 36, of Arlington quips that it's "a masterpiece of summertime playground fun. For all the kids not lucky enough to have access to a pool, it is a godsend. For all of us adults without children, it is a temptation. How . . . can I play in the water, too, without looking like a complete moron?"
