Clemyjontri Park

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 at 6317 Georgetown Pike. It includes a carousel[2] and walking trails,[3] Additional parking is available at Langley Fork Park across Georgetown Pike.[4]

The land was donated by Adele Lebowitz in 1997, of Mortimers Department Store and namesake of the "Adele Lebowitz Center for Youth and Family" at the Washington School of Psychiatry,[5] to the Fairfax County Park Authority to build the park.[6]

The name Clemyjontri is derived from the donor’s four children: Carolyn (CL), Emily (EMY), John (Jon), and Petrina (Tri).[7]

The park has been written about in the fictional book "Murder Has a Sweet Tooth".[8]
