[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just visited Hardy Park and it is lovely.

Is there a map of where the new school would go? Would they pull up the basketball and tennis courts? Or put it on the just-renovated park?[/quote]

The schematics that DCPS put forward had the new school on the embankment between the blacktop and the soccer fields and on the basketball court (which would then become an indoor court). The blacktop was included in LAB's lease, but is effectively idle space and so the school could be built there if LAB agrees (which I don't expect them to as their interests are diametrically opposed to improving public school options in the neighborhood). [/quote]

I've read the Lab lease and the basketball court is not part of it. However, there is a long history of Lab claiming more than their lease allows and the city acceding to them. [/quote]

Not the basketball court but the parking lot between the Old Hardy building and the tree-lined embankment. There is a "private property" sign on the entrance along Foxhall Rd., so LAB is definitely claiming it.[/quote]
