 Something tells me there is going to be a very robust "friends of hearst park" to keep the park + facility planted and maintained.[/quote]

Those groups don’t always last and often can’t sustain interest or financial
support long term. Landscaping maintenance is expensive. The city is building the pool and needs to make sure the area is well maintained. [/quote]

LOL - the neighbors of Hearst Park only started paying attention to the park when the city proposed to improve it which will bring more people to their corner of CP.

That park has long been in poor shape with lots of litter and vines overtaking trees in the buffer between the soccer field and 37th Street and I mention those last two things because if the neighbors had cared all of these years they could have taken care of those things themselves.   The tennis courts were also in poor shape and rarely swept (though they were also rarely used).

But of course people in CP don't do yard work or [b]pick up trash.[/b]

I suspect the neighbors would prefer for the park to deteriorate (which is likely since DC is just terrible about maintaining anything it is responsible for) so they have cause to argue the pool should be closed which would get rid of anyone from outside of the neighborhood using their park.[/quote]

^ don't drop trash. Fixed that for you![/quote]
