[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a Ward 3 pool is truly needed, why not consider the vacant land directly across Fort Drive/parking lot from Alice Deal middle school and outside Ft Reno Park? It's car and Metro accessible, walking distance from existing schools and rec facilities (including the all-weather Wilson pool), more centrally located in Ward 3 and wouldn't sacrifice any school or park facilities like sports fields, tennis courts or playgrounds. [/quote] It would be a great location, but that's all National Park Service land, not DC land. [/quote] If you look at the map, the referenced property isn't part of Fort Reno park. But there are lots and lots of DC facilities on NPS or other federally owned land: RFK stadium, parts of the UDC campus and even the Murch school playground. Using unused federal land (if it is that) may not be the most expedient course, but it's clearly possible. [/quote]
