Nothing warms up a long winter like a friendly face. Not sure where to meet fellow parents or where to find them in the cold? Here are a few places to start!

#1 Clemyjontri Park
A trip to Clemyjontri on a warm, sunny day will find a pretty big crowd. But the size of this park and its relative lack of shade makes it perfect for even the chillier days. Stand in the sun and chat with other parents while your kids run off their cooped up energy.

#2 Busy Bees
Just opened in Arlington, Busy Bees is an indoor playground with open play every day. They also host regular events like date night drop-offs, craft sessions, workout classes and shopping events—a great idea whether you need to get out with or without your kids.
