[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the details (and in fact the details are what will be worked out in this planning phase), but my understanding is that the work they are talking about will all be down on the "lower field" area.  So, e.g., get rid of the tennis courts, or make the soccer field area smaller or something like that.[/quote]

This is one of the few full-sized fields around, and the tennis courts are heavily used.  I don't see where the pool can go, unless these resources are thrown away.  I agree that the upper portion is pretty tight, but is there anything else planned for where the temporary building is now?  That could be "found space."  The other question about a pool that is going to attract a lot of users is parking.  The streets surrounding the park are parked full during the day and even on weekends the spots fill up with constant Stoddert soccer league games.  I guess that the Hearst school parking lot could become the pool lot after school hours and in summer.  There's no other spot on the parcel to add parking.[/quote]
