By the hundreds every day, parents and children are flocking to Clemyjontri, the McLean playground with the odd name that has become one gi-normous hit since opening last month.

In its first 25 days of operation, the playground has drawn 12,000 visitors -- an average of 475 a day.

At two acres, this field of dreams is 10 times bigger than the typical Fairfax County playground and millions of dollars more expensive. Yet for those who have visited it, the crowds -- the 81-space parking lot is overwhelmed -- are a small price to pay for the delights of the spacious facility built on a $900,000 rubberized carpet as soft as a putting green.

Designed for disabled and able-bodied children, the park (pronounced Clem-mee-JOHN-tree) sprawls with brightly colored equipment. More than 20 pieces are innovations, including climbable rainbow arches, a wheelchair-accessible maze and a "helicopter" with ramps, allowing children with physical disabilities to fly into the imaginary skies with more able-bodied companions.
