Cleveland Park already has a community pool, at the Cleveland Park Club which is relatively inexpensive to join compared to most private pools.[/quote]

The boundary for those who can join that pool and club is very small and exclusive. This is a public pool that would be open to the rest of us riff-raff.

The CPC pool is tiny.[/quote]

How the the boundary "exclusive"?  It includes McLean Gardens (which itself has a pool) as well as the apartment buildings along Connecticut and Wisconsin Aves. in the Cleveland Park area.  [/quote]

It may not be exclusive but it is not large.  I live in Van Ness and cannot join the club, whereas I could certainly go to a public pool at Hearst.[/quote]

The Cleveland Park Club membership areas is pretty contiguous with the Cleveland Park neighborhood lines (i.e., the historic district) uet also includes McLean Gardens.  But the pool is on the smaller size.[/quote]

Yes but the point is that the pool at the CPC does not fulfill the same need as a public pool at Hearst.  Most of the people who live near Hearst (including me, 3 blocks way) do not qualify for membership at CPC even if we had the money to join.[/quote]
