What's the old saying about putting lipstick on a pig? |
Maybe they clear cut so many trees to harvest siding for the ugly building.... Seriously, they need to have and carry out a vey significant reforestation plan for the south and west slopes of the park, DPR has not provided any plan yet, unfortunately. |
| The pool looks SO tiny. I was opposed to that location for the pool, but if you are going to ramrod it through, build a decent pool. |
It is the same size as most of the other outdoor DPR pools. That was what was said from the outset. |
Well then it was a stupid waste of taxpayer money to build a little pool in a concrete bathtub in a once sylvan park. Most of the trees are gone and an ugly protuberance has spoiled what once a beautiful green canopy. It’s really desecration- the equivalent of putting hoops courts lit up by sodium lights in a national park. |
Some say they cut the trees down so that the pool complex wouldn’t always be in shade. What a shame. |
Is it? Tiny kiddie pool with no water feature and like 4 lanes. Inspired. |
The protuberance is horrid. We have been walking past the park for a year now and how the view has changed . If they could have made an infinity view or something... It's so choppy and generic where there was once a green vista. |
The ugly elevator building on the hillside seems as large as the pool. |
At night the whole complex will be illuminated brighter than the perimeter of the DC jail. |
| Chen is responsible for despoiling Hearst Park. |
That's just not true. The neighborhood successfully limited the size of the pool. I was part of that effort. A large pool - like the kind first proposed would have attracted way too much traffic. Please stop making stuff up. |

Cheh ruined a beautiful urban oasis. What an aesthetic disaster. I wish she had some values. Unfortunately, she just focuses on her developer friends and supporters.

“The food at this place is terrible. And such tiny portions too!” |
The pool is so typically Cheh. It pleases nobody, but a small group of well-orchestrated supporters. Either no pool or a real pool. What we got was an ugly little pool that will be empty eight months a year and filled with kiddie pee during the summer. |
