[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be an outdoor pool in ward 3. Does it have to be at Hearst. Is there any other spot that would work? Maybe at Lafayette?  Or fort Reno?[/quote]

[b]NPS already said no to Ft Reno.[/b]

Lafayette of Chevy Chase Community Center would be great. Suggest those as alternatives. In the meantime, the money is already allocated for Hearst, so I am good with more outdoor pools than less.[/quote]

This is not exactly accurate.  DC never really pushed it in any concerted way.  Heck, a FOIA request response showed that DC never analyzed or really considered any sites other than Hearst.

When Mayor Bowser is grandly asking NPS to deed over federal parkland to DC for economic development (!), it's not exactly a big ask by DC for NPS to transfer or lease recreational space for (gulp).... recreational purposes, rather than to be plowed under forever for condos and stores.  There are examples of DC facilities being located NPS-owned land (the Murch school playground, for one).[/quote]
