[quote=Anonymous]I was at Hearst ES on Sunday for a last day of summer break play date with DS friends.

In the 80 minutes we were there not a single person came to use the tennis courts.

There was a couple kicking a soccer ball in Hearst Park for the first 30 minutes we were there (not sure how long they were there before we arrived) and several folks came and allowed their dogs to run illegally off leash in the park but for the most part the park was empty while we were there.

Completely empty on a beautiful summer day.

Meanwhile the Hearst ES soccer field was crammed with a group of tweens playing a pick-up soccer game and the playground was also full of kids and a couple of HS kids were shooting hoops when we left.

And except for a couple of cars of people from our meet-up who drove the street was complete empty of parked cars.

As we left I thought how wonderful it would have been if we could have gone to an outdoor pool in our own neighborhood and what a waste it is to have precious outdoor space so poorly utilized in a city where it normally is under great demand.

But at least things remain quiet for the privileged neighbors.[/quote]
