[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Hazen Park, Rock Creek and Glover Park are within a quarter mile of Hearst. Some areas of DC are isolated from greenspace. Hearst is not one of them."

There are three public pools with easy access to Ward 3 residents including Wilson's Olympic-style facility.  Why destroy green space for cement when you already have easy access to city pools. What kind of crisis do we have that we need an outdoor Ward 3 pool. Do people get kicked out of  Jelleff pool which is about 5 minutes from Hearst or Volta  which is about 10 minutes from Hearst or  Francis which is 15 minutes away.  [/quote]

Last time I checked, Wilson was an INDOOR pool and Jelleff and Volta are in Ward 2 and serve residents who live closer to those parks. I want a pool close to where I live, where I can walk with my kids on a weekend afternoon and cool off in the summer. Jelleff might be 5 minutes away by car at 2 in the morning, but otherwise is nothing close to 5 minutes away. The others are even further without a car, and are a total pain to get to via public transit.

Why do you continue to insist that green space will be taken to accommodate a pool? Maybe they can use one or two of the seldom used tennis courts instead?[/quote]
