[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are public tennis courts at UDC (three blocks away) and the Newark St park in McLean Gardens. In addition, there are courts at Sidwell, the Cathedral, Rose Park, Livingston Playground, Lafayette Playground and on and on. Look at an aerial, there are tennis courts, most of them public, all over the place.

No public outdoor pools.

That is why we need one. And, why is anyone assuming Hearst would lose tennis courts? No one from DPR has suggested that, so let's not let the strawman win that argument.

Sidwell, the Cathedral, etc. are private courts.  UDC is usually closed to the community.

No one has seen a plan for Hearst yet, but it's unlikely a pool could be shoehorned in without taking out existing facilities.  If I had to choose something to go, however, I'd get rid of the turf field and the basketball courts at the top of the hill nearest the school.  They could easily be relocated to the other side of the school building near Tilden St.[/quote]
