[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree last thing to worry about, but I liked Hearst green (grass). It was only used for informal soccer, but was a nice shaded park and a green space as noted. Mosquito infested due to the drainage... hope they can get a handle on that. [/quote]

Fake plastic grass covering a four acre field is an environmental disaster. [/quote]

I took a walk by yesterday and it is still 'soupy' as heck down there. Because the field is stepped down and has sloped sides, it has always been a little shady and dank. They are going to have to have incredible ongoing maintenance and drainage to keep the grassy swamp it was from turning into a really, really unappealing plastic swamp next to the swimming pool.

So now it's 2021, and as I walk by every morning with my pup, I see the clear cut hills, the muddy field, some construction where the tennis courts used to be, and a pvc pipe at the corner of Quebec and Idaho that spews water down the street 24/7. It's a mess. It's been a mess for the last year at least.

Fenced, ugly, unusable. Give me the old Hearst Park with scrub trees and soccer games any day.

That spewing water is crazy! I miss the old park too :(. It's  going to be a snazzy recreation center (if it's maintained, otherwise less snazzy and probably really sad looking). It's not going to be a "park".[/quote]

Green parks are so outdated.  DC is about urban recreation centers now.[/quote]
