[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. Tennis is an elitist sport and inefficient land use, and to previous commenters points, NCS, Sidwell and St Albans have private courts people can pay to use, if they want.[/quote]

Beauvoir has a beautiful pool. You can pay to use it.[/quote]

You raise a good point. I encourage you to go look at the Beauvoir pool this weekend.  When you see the crowds there you will clearly see the need for another outdoor pool in Ward 3.  All the chairs are taken about 15 minutes after opening and the pool is packed.  Thank goodness for the adult swims!  [/quote]

If they put a pool in Ward 3, put it in a location where the trade-offs of existing facilities and green landscape won't be a stark as at Hearst.  [/quote]

Where do you think there is DC land where the people currently using it or living around it won't make the exact same arguments?[/quote]

Why should any expensive facility be foisted on a neighborhood that doesn't want it.  Better to put the pool on developed land in an area where residents will embrace it.[/quote]

Your neighborhs don't think it is being foisted. Your neighbors have asked for a pool. The city is listening.[/quote]
