Make no mistake, any pool will immediately turn into a draw for visitors from all Wards.  Just like the spray parks at Livingston and Lafayette.  [/quote]

Have you seen a map of the outdoor pools in DC?

All of the other neighborhoods have outdoor pools already. Why would you assume people will be coming from far corners to this facility? And I haven't seen many beyond those in the community at the spraygrounds at Macomb, Turtle Park, Lafayette or Livingston.

I think this would be fantastic for the community.[/quote]

I assume that people will come from elsewhere in the city to a nice, brand-new facility because that's what happens.  Especially the nannies, but also parents.  I assume this because this has been my observation while living in CCDC for the past 15 years.

And....  could you define "the community" ?  what would say the boundaries of "the community" are, for example?   [/quote]

i don't live in ward 3, but i pay taxes too and am just as entitled to use a pool that's at hearst. sorry you don't consider me part of your "community"[/quote]
