[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Fairfax County, where I grew up, we had pools at rec centers and not in high schools. I'm sure this is unpopular, but I think it's stupid that the Arlington high schools were built with pools to begin with. I understand they're a public benefit, but the county put themselves in this "amenities" situation.

Bottom line is, the county is ineffectively using and allocating the land they currently have. The speed of development isn't helping either. I wish they would have stepped back and slowed down 10 years ago before it became this dire.[/quote]

6 to one 1/2 dozen to another. We do it at schools- they do it at rec centers. The county was looking to build another pool anyway. They need to move it and the money over to Kenmore.  Kill two birds. [/quote]

I just find it to be poor planning. Now you have the burden of pool management, and the associated traffic, wear and tear, etc. on the schools instead of separately on parks and rec. I live near the Walter Reed community center, for instance, and fail to really see the utility in how most of that space is used. There could have been a pool there, or at Barcroft, etc. I just think associating them with high schools was a bad choice to begin with. [/quote]
