[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I walked by the park today.  One possible site is to the east of the school and the shelter, where the portable classrooms used to be.  It's quite possible to picture the pool there, as the site is even surrounded by a chain link fence!  The site wouldn't bother the school, as the pool would be used on late spring weekends and during the summer, when school isn't in session.  And the location right next to the parking lot would be so convenient.  And it would mean that no current park feature would have to be sacrificed - not the big field or little field, the playground, tennis courts, trees.  That might be a win-win spot.[/quote]

I think the spot you're thinking of is not part of the site proper but is part of the right-of-way of Idaho Avenue. If you look at the DGS presentation they mark off the boundaries of the park, and there's a significant part absorbed by that ROW. Now, it's not impossible for one DC agency to transfer land to another, but it would mean bringing in DDOT.[/quote]

No, I am thinking of the site of the portable classroom building, recently demolished.  It may be on DCPS property but that's no bar to co-locating a DPR facility -  such as the Wilson pool.[/quote]
