[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like a pool in walking or easy biking distance for me and my kids. Hearst checks that box in a way that no other outdoor DPR pool in the city does.

Turtle Park would be the best.  More than any other location in Ward 3, it is definitely [b]"kid central."[/b]  It's also walking distance from the Tenley Metro and the bus lines on Wisconsin and Mass.[/quote]

No it would not be the best - not even close.

It is further from the Metro than Hearst and not on any major bus lines (it is 6 blocks from Wisconsin Avenue and 9 blocks from the Metro) and it is also much less central to the Ward.

And its also not near a major arterial like Hearst is.

But most importantly Turtle Park is intensely used already in the summer while Hearst is essentially empty (this is true year around except for Saturdays in the spring and fall when the soccer field is sometimes used) and Turtle Park just underwent an expensive renovation.

And FWIW there is much more parking around Hearst, especially in the summer when school is out and the parking would be needed.
