[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been some recent public meetings on this.  DPR states that they plan to re-do the large playing field, reconstruct the tennis courts, and add a pool with a pool house.  This sounds great, but it's hard to figure out how they will make it all fit on the existing site.  Does anyone know?[/quote] Hopefully more people in favor of the pool will go to the coming meetings. I imagine many families with children are not able to go to an evening meeting. Will there be more survey opportunities online?[/quote]

It's amazing how Mary Cheh continues to push this despite the intense opposition from the neighbors and the area around the field. This is her sword to fall on. Where exactly will all of these items go? If DPR could just keep the Wilson facilities actually working, families could swim there and still play tennis and soccer and ultimate frisbee and T-ball and little league at the Hearst Park. Keep our green space exactly that - green. And given all of the oversight issues with DGS, it seems no plans should be going forward until hard budget vs. needs questions are asked and answered.

Plenty of green space in Ward 3, but no outdoor pool. I can understand the NIMBY feelings though - I wouldn't want to live across the street from it either.[/quote]
