[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city pays for maintenance of parks, rec centers and schools.  They just don't seem to do a good job at any of it so I was just making the point that there could be efficiencies.  But they obviously need to allocate more money across the board.  The city doesn't have enough fields for the growing public demand even when you include school fields thanks to the same baby boom/population growth that has caused overcrowding in many schools.

You are delusional. There are more than enough fields and playgrounds. The only ones that colonizers seem to be fretting over are the ones on newly renovated school grounds. [/quote]

My spouse coaches a youth rec league team and finding a field -- any field -- to practice on is a challenge.   DC's population had grown by 100,000 in the last decade.  I'm not sure if these people are colonizers (?), but they're certainly not proving to be couch potatoes.[/quote]

For the folks here that are just looking for a place for their kid to burn off some energy, there are plenty of fields and playgrounds. The zoo and RCP are also a short walk from Mt. Pleasant. [/quote]
