[quote=Anonymous]The DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) is asking that Mundo Verde limit the number of students playing at Mitchell Park to no more than 25 at any given time.

While there have been no formal complaints of park misuse by students, nor reports of problematic interaction among students of the different schools using this public park, some people are apparently informing MV teachers that there is a quota on the number of students from their school who can play there, or saying they can't use the park before a certain time of day. No such restrictions have been conveyed to staff or students from the other schools who frequent the park -- Kids Corner and DPR Coop.

Does anyone have insights as to who would intentionally mis-inform teachers (and, by association, students and parents) that they are unable to use a public park?

As a Mundo Verde parent, to say I find this ludicrous is an understatement, and I'm eager to determine how this request gained traction within DPR.

I also welcome the opportunity to dialog with whomever has genuine concerns about the park's use.

Yours in taxpaying,
