The presentation summarized plans for renovating Hearst Park and Pool in Washington D.C. It discussed selecting Hearst as the location for a new outdoor pool to serve Ward 3. The project will include renovating or replacing fields, adding a new pool and pool house, new tennis courts, and other site upgrades. The budget is $2 million in FY2016, $5 million in FY2017 for the park work, and $5 million in FY2019 for the pool construction. Community workshops will be held in May/June and the design team will present options, seeking consensus on the plans.

was identified as an area that lacked an outdoor
pool within 1.5 miles of every resident.
• Potential Ward 3 locations that included adequate
space for a pool and pool house included:
• Palisades Park and Recreation Center –
Probability of historic designation limited
eligibility.
• Friendship Recreation Center – Pending
construction plans limited eligibility.
• Hearst was identified as the most viable
option.
