[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a CMI parent and I also find it really distressing that the AFRH in general is not open to the public except a couple of weekends a year. If it were open, then I assume CMI would be able to decide whether to open the playground as well, and I hope that it would.

But unfortunately AFRH has been closed off in this way for decades, and I dont know what it would take to get it to change its policy.

For those who are interested, this article discusses some of the history of the AFRH, including how it used to be "Washington's Central Park," and how Park View and Petworth were built without their own green spaces because the AFRH was so close. But it was closed and surrounded by razor wire after the riots in the 60s, and has been closed ever since:

Oh, I'm addressing my upset at closing off the playground on the few occasions a year that the AFRH grounds *are* open to the public. And I object to the statement by the PP who hints that when the AFRH grounds are open to the public, it is the AFRH that is opposed to children using the playground - on the occasions that the grounds are open. I think it is the school and the parents.[/quote]

Wow. You really have it out for CM don't you?[/quote]
