[quote=Anonymous]DPR has finally put the recent meeting presentation on its website, with three pool siting alternatives.  My overall reaction is, for all this money and attention, DPR is proposing a very small pool, kind of a kiddie pool for adults.  For comparison purposes, the pool footprint is smaller than one tennis court and smaller than one of the penalty areas of the soccer field.  It's as if Cheh and DPR are going through the motions to say "Ward 3 pool.  Check."  There's a good question of whether it's worth the effort.  The three alternatives each have drawbacks.  #1 has the pool located directly alongside two tennis courts which doesn't seem optimal.  #2 puts the pool closer to 37th St and the parking area but shrinks the filed by putting it on a N-S orientation.  #3  puts the pool on the south side of the park but totally eliminates the shoulder/spectator area for the field.  If the pool stays small, the better option might be to move it  south of the small turf field, closer to the parking lot, thus leaving other areas of the park alone.  None are great options.
