It's all part of the Dee Cee government. And for that matter, a large chunk of the Hearst site is controlled by DCPS, if one if going to be bureaucratically technical about it.


UDC is a federal land-grant university.

It's rather telling that advocates for a Hearst pool assure us that everything will be great, nothing will be sacrificed, the project needs to move forward, etc., but when folks ask the simple question "Where will the pool go?" -- the response is to dodge the question.

You must have over 200 posts in this thread that say the same thing. Are you an imbecile? "

I'm sorry that a discussion about dramatic change in public use and natural environment are not valuable to you. But instead of calling people names, you could provide more meaningful input. Another option is just to ignore this thread.

No one outside of perhaps DPR and Cheh know this and they aren't sharing.


And with good reason. The field, tennis courts and old oak trees may be lost, in whole or in part. Cheh and DPR don't want the unpleasant truth to come and thereby energize even more opposition and give it more time to organize, until the last possible minute.

That area is the former Reno City and is a landmark.

Looking at Google maps, the best spot would be the open field directly across from Deal, but outside the marked boundary of Fort Reno Park, below the water tower and defense iinstallation and west of Nebraska Ave. There's plenty of parking at Deal, especially on weekends and in the summer, when school is not in session. It wouldn't require using green parkland, whether owned by DC or NPS. It's walkable to Metro, as well as the indoor pool at Wilson, and there's probably no spot in the ward that is more central.


I'm just guessing fort reno is federal land or something, this sounds too easy?


Yes. https://www.nps.gov/places/fort-reno.htm

But DPR controls it on behalf of the owner.
