Actually, it's more.  1.2 miles is the nearest Google route, all by or along streets, as there's no 'as the crow flies' trail.  The point is, DPR wanted to locate pools pretty centrally, certainly near some the largest concentrations of families with children (and that doesn't get any denser than AU Park).  Of course, a Fort Reno location is between AU Park and Chevy Chase, and really convenient for Metro, buses and parking.  [/quote]

DPR wouldn't be looking for a Google route between two locations to serve its constituency. Bottom line, there is no proposal for a pool at Ft Reno, so it is a straw man argument.The National Park Service isn't in a position to support a wild deflection idea at this late stage. The proposal is for a pool at Hearst, which is close enough to Ft Reno and Ward Circle to check the box. People have supported this proposal in pretty convincing numbers, despite the claims of the 120 or whatever people (not households, that would cut the number almost in half) who are being selfish and parochial in opposing a public facility at a public park with public money that all of us contribute to.

Just because you might live closer to the park doesn't give you more weight over determining how it is programed.
