Has a survey really shown these "wishes of the many?" I live in ward 3 but am perfectly happy using one of the very close pools in Ward 2: Volta and Jelleff. My kids and I take the bus to these all summer; they are both on the very same bus route as Hearst, just 2 miles or a 10-15 min bus ride away. I would prefer to keep Hearst for the many soccer teams and tennis players who have inadequate space as it is. In fact, I would love to see some basic maintenance done on both the soccer field, which is a dust pit, and the tennis courts. Have no faith at all that the city wouldn't destroy the field in creating the pool. [/quote]

The Friends of Hearst Park conducted a survey more than a year ago that I think showed an 80% approval/favoring an outdoor pool on the site.

I don't think anyone is suggesting chopping up the big field. The field has seen numerous renovations and re-sodding over the years, but the over use has rendered it a dust bowl. That is why it should be turfed and maybe lighted.[/quote]
