[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pool was proposed 25+ years ago, I don't really know the history.[/quote] It seems that you are right. Here is a snippet I found: “In the mid 1990s the city initiated a plan to turn the Palisades Park into a “Mega Center” that would include a swimming pool. The idea, when presented to the community, met with overwhelming opposition. The thought then, as it is today, was that the community was reluctant to turn the neighborhood park into a major destination that would draw a regional base of users.” (http://www.palisadesdc.org/newsletters/2004/parkplan.pdf) That’s drained-pool politics at its core.[/quote]
