Clemyjontri Park is a 2-acre park in McLean, Virginia, opened in 2006, which boasts a setting for children of all abilities to congregate.[1] It is located in the McLean area of Fairfax County, Virginia at 6317 Georgetown Pike. It includes a carousel,[2] four different playground areas around the carousel,[3] and walking trails.[4] Additional parking is available at Langley Fork Park across Georgetown Pike.[5]
The land was donated by Adele Lebowitz in 1997, of Morton’s Department Store and namesake of the "Adele Lebowitz Center for Youth and Family" at the Washington School of Psychiatry,[6] to the Fairfax County Park Authority to build the park.[7]
The name Clemyjontri is derived from the donor’s four children: Carolyn (CL), Emily (EMY), John (Jon), and Petrina (Tri).[8]
The park has been written about in the fictional book Murder Has a Sweet Tooth.[9]
