| Does anyone know if the track is public? I live in the area and wanted to walk the track. |

No. Were the 24-hour locked gates not a hint? Seriously the National Mall is two blocks away.

| Duh! If I went there already I wouldn’t have asked the question! Kudos for trying to be smart. |

At least they’re trying, unlike you. |

This board has to be full of 3rd graders. Either answer the question or move on. Childish and looking to argue. Annoying! |

And you’re not? Okay… |

| Why would a "private" school track be "public"? |

| Actually Episcopal HS was to have a public track—it was part of the reason they got permission to build it. Of course now there’s a “Covid” excuse to keep everyone locked out. But there can be neighborhood requirements to open up a track. |

| Gonzaga is in a part of town that necessitates a locked gate around the property. Allowing the public on their grounds is risky considering the level of crime in that part of town. |

I never knew that. Same neighborhood, the SSSAS track is generally open to the public. That school keeping it's campus open during Covid was a significant gift for many. |

Because they are part of a community. Landon’s school grounds are open to the public. GZ has a soup kitchen but you can’t use our track? |

| Landon is a very different campus from Landon. Soup Kitchen is more warranted at one, track for community walkers at the other. |

| What you mean is the neighborhoods are different. But if Gonzaga really walks the walk, it could, during certain hours, open its playing field and track to neighborhood walkers and kids who want to play on the field. What's the worse that could happen? |

I think we know what the worst thing to happen will be. No thank you. Second - Gonzaga’s facilities are in constant use by its multiple sports teams. As they should be. The National Mall is a beautiful place to walk and is always open to all, blocks away from the school. There is really not a pressing need in that neighborhood for a “car free” area to exercise as it already exists for all to enjoy. |
