[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a public park designed to maximize public good. If they take one court to put something in that will have maximum community benefit with minimal impact that will fundementally improve the park and community. You don't get to control public assets, it isn't your property.

Is it really worth all that to you?[/quote]

There is precisely zero chance a pool, a pool deck, changing rooms, and pool equipment for a public pool fit in the space of one tennis court. You are dreaming. I grew up with a pool in my backyard (not here) that covered more space than a tennis court and that was for a private personal inground pool with brick decking and a shed for equipment. One that requires the chemicals and filtering equipment for a public pool simply is not feasible. Unless, of course, the maximum capacity of the pool is to be 20 or fewer patrons at a time. In which case I would argue that's hardly a benefit to the community if a max of 5 family units could use the pool at once. [/quote]
