What's the rush? It wouldn't have opened this year and -- because of the mayor's ridiculous insistence on keeping indoor dining and drinking open -- likely will not be allowed to open next year, either.
Uhh, because a five acre park, including tennis courts is now surrounded by eight foot fences which blocks off public access. We need that open space now more than any other time in the city's history.
Hate to tell you this but the courts are gone...

This clearly shows the appalling number of tree removed. As-build plans show hardly any trees on the slopes in the southwest corner of the park, meaning virtually no screenings of the pool complex from the street. There seems to be no plan to have a tree canopy there. Why not ?
DP. Why does the pool complex need to be screened from the street? Or the street screened from the pool complex, I suppose.
That area of the park used to be a green oasis with trees shading the tennis courts. I suspect that all of the trees were removed because DPR think that users want to have a sunny pool area for sunbathing. Removing all of the tree screening from the street is unfortunate because, instead of a green park, the view will be of concrete, chain link fences and bright floodlights at night. Hearst Park is being changed into “Hearst Urban Recreation Center.”
