[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, this is really a parks question and not a schools discussion. Should it be moved?[/quote]

It seems to straddle both, because any re-do of the Hearst playground to include a pool is likely to involve some use of the school grounds -- whether that is moving the basketball court or designing accessible access from the school parking lot.  [/quote]

I highly doubt that it will involve any use of the school grounds.  The school grounds are now mostly taken up with the school itself and the parking lot.  The playground is all DPR even though it is used by the school.  All that said, I think the discussion is germane to the school (and looking at the forum index, I don't see a "parks and rec" forum) so why not have it here?

In the end, having a pool will mean giving up something else -- tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball diamond, just open green space.  Someone will be unhappy and some folks will be happy.  My own sense is that the pool will be expensive, and the real hurdle will be the city coming up with the money to build it and then maintain it.[/quote]
