[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an option that shows 2 tennis courts and a pool. Problem solved.

All of the options show the soccer field dramatically reduced in size.[/quote]

Unfortunately, as the DPR team and the firm that DC contracted to plan the Hearst Park renovations have explained, the three proposed pool options for Hearst Park with a pool are basically just conceptual and are not dimensionally accurate or reflect all of a pool's ancillary facilities. As a post on the neighborhood list serve explains, none of those drawings accurately depicts the pool house and changing facilities, the concrete pool deck, nor the ADA pathways that will be required. The Department of General Services, which has overall responsibility for physical construction, also confirmed that there have not been any hydrology or feasibility studies done at the park to ensure that Hearst Park is actually a feasible location for a pool.  This is important, not least because of the park's high water table.

It seems that the notion of pool at Hearst is basically Trumpian:  don't worry about the details, it will be totally amazing and fantastic, believe me.[/quote]
