[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is already an outdoor basketball court at Hearst. In terms of tennis courts, there are like 30 of them within a few blocks of Hearst, and as someone else already said, they are seldom used and when they are it is 2 or 4 people at a time, not the 4-10 that use a basketball court or the 30-50 that would be using a pool. The Tennis players can use the free courts at McLean Gardens, Ft Reno, Rose park, UDC or Livingston, Lafayette or Turtle Park. The supply FAR outweights the demand for a dying sport.[/quote] DC puts too much emphasis on recreational basketball courts. That’s why Cora Masters Barry (Marion’s ex-wife) devoted considerable effort and resources to expanding tennis courts and programs in the District of Columbia.[/quote] Well there are too many tennis courts and not enough outdoor basketball courts in Ward 3. And Cora Masters Barry concentrated on building tennis courts EOTP and EOTR not in Upper NW.[/quote]
