[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the poster who grew up nearby who would have supported a pool. A ton of nice trees have been cut down. There is no denying that. The neighborhood is also losing the gentler sledding hill. [/quote]

What sledding hill is lost?[/quote]

The gentle one off near Quebec street that ended at the tennis courts. It was my favorite growing up - the one closer to the school is steep and fast and uncomfortable when you land.[/quote]

It's maybe 60-70 feet between the street and the tennis courts - it's not even the length of one of the adjacent tennis courts and it had a mix of trees and bushes in it until a few months ago - I find it hard to believe too many people ever sledded there.[/quote]

They didn't. Anyone in the neighborhood knows to go to Battery Kimble or Tregaron to sled.[/quote]

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for decades. People absolutely sled on the gentle hill. Tregaron is more than a mile away and Battery Kimble is over near Sibley hospital!! Kids who live near Hearst aren’t going over to those places to sled on their own. Now, I think a pool trumps that, but stop lying. A sledding hill will be lost and many trees were cut down. It’s insulting and polarizing to lie to people who know you aren’t telling the truth. [/quote]

Look if you say so but it is still hard for me to believe - I live too far away to bother going there after a snow storm but have been a regular at the park for most of the last decade for soccer and the space between the street and the tennis courts is very small and is largely filled with bushes and trees so it is very hard to figure where or why someone would sled there particularly when the hill on the opposite side of the soccer field is at least clear of any vegetation.[/quote]
