This is hinted at in the post, but when discussing good parks, one can focus on big fields, like in the pictured proposal outside Giant, or playgrounds for smaller kids. I'm not sure this area needs a big field, but for families moving into these apartments, there is little around. Forget about crossing Georgia Who is going to walk a 1/2 mile to a mile to spend 30 minutes with a toddler in a playground? If they have to get in a car, the point of living in a walkable area is gone.

I'm not sure there is a single public playground in Montgomery County south of East West Hwy (or near EW Hwy) from Georgia Ave to Sundale Ave (Rosemary Hills ES has a playground a 1/2 mile N of EW Hwy). I don't think the entire Blair apartment complex has a single playground. A pocket park playground is near the Lenox on Draper Ln. Falkland Chase & Summit Hills have playgrounds, but I don't think they're open to non-residents. Pocket parks aren't great, but even putting a bit more grass & play structures for kids in a few of them would make a big difference to this neighborhood.
