[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homeless shelter is going on the parking lot, not the tennis courts. It wouldn't matter, those courts are always open. Just like the ones at Hearst.[/quote] I won't take my kids to the playground on the corner there. Who wants to have their kids play (or play tennis for that matter), right up against a dog park with lots of barking dogs and the frequent odor of dog waste wafting in the air? DPR's construction of the dog park is perhaps a cautionary tale for Hearst. I am not making a direct comparison with a pool, but in McLean Gardens, DPR had to wedge the dog park in with a shoe horn. A variety of uses and stakeholder priorities are shoved right next to each other (including a community garden which is down the drainage slop from the dog park) in a parcel that is too small to accommodate all of them. The result is a mish-mash that doesn't work particularly well for any use.[/quote]
