[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I would love a pool, but have you been there to check it out? The field is actually like a large storm retention pond which is why the field is muddy after rain. I think whoever designed this park knew what they were doing. A storm retention pond AND a field AND sledding hills. Building there would be an environmental travesty. And the water apparently flows straight to the historic springs on Springland. It's actually pretty cool, there are still spring houses there. Then it goes to Rock Creek. [b]So I would think this is one spot where not building makes sense, especially when the neighbors say the field is used year round[/b].

Sounds like the poolites are the selfish ones who just want what they want no matter the impact on others or the environment. Do you realize the pools are only open 6 hours a day on weekends? That seems like the battle here. Get Dept Rec to step it up! Then bike to georgetown![/quote]

The field is not used year-round because it turns to mud when it rains, and then is useless.  Those of us who tried to have soccer games/practices there this spring had them cancelled virtually every week.  As a PP said, we have tons of green space in this town -- it's called Rock Creek Park.  We need another turf field and a pool!!  Do you know how hard it is to come by pool space in this town?
