[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make an offer to Sidwell as they add and renovate their grounds -- city will build all year pool at Sidwell  provided there is open access all summer.  Unlucky private partnership.[/quote]

What problem does this solve?  There is room at Hearst for a pool and the real opposition from the neighbors is about [b]increased activity in their otherwise quiet corner of Cleveland Park [/b]which a pool at Sidwell would not resolve.

And there is an "all year" pool available already in the neighborhood - what Ward 3 is lacking is an outdoor pool.[/quote]

Of the 'wrong' people....[/quote]

So which is it?  We keep seeing bleats about poor Ward 3, which is so deprived because lacks its "own" outdoor pool when every other ward in DC has one or more.  But then proponents hint darkly that it is Hearst park champions who somehow are being exclusionary.  (Have you ever seen Hearst during soccer seasons?  It's hardly some quiet corner!). In any event, if every other ward is already aquatically well-endowed, who exactly would a Hearst pool draw??[/quote]
