Park Wars Quarterfinals: Clemyjontri v. Hains Point
Today we declare the Potentate of the Play Parks on this, the tenth day of Washingtonian’s Park Wars. Both the day’s contenders are worthy.
Clemyjontri advanced to these late stages by sneaking past Chuck Brown Memorial Park, proving that what it lacked in a drumming section, it more than made up for with spongy ground cover.
But Hains Point is advancing from the south and quick. It stormed Maryland’s Takoma-Piney Branch Park, taking 81 percent of the vote, the highest margin of victory among the parks of play. Can Clemyjontri stymie its march? Only time will tell (specifically, we’ll know by 4:30.)
Clemyjontri Park
Monkey bars, swings, a maze, and a wheelchair-accessible carousel. 6317 Georgetown Pike, McLean
Hains Point (East Potomac Park)
