Yes to pools. Yes to skate parks. Simple concrete bowls play host to simple pleasures.

I've always thought that's what should be done with the big DOT parking lot on S. Massachusetts, next to Colman School. Good luck Christine!

I love this post. It's totally boring, but anybody with blood coursing through their veins can't help but read it after seeing the pic. Brilliant!

Yeah!
Thanks for bringing this to my awareness, Slog. Now I'm gonna go tell all my poor poolless CD parents to get on board. I love Mounger but HATE driving 1/2 hour across town for that overcrowded kiddie swim.

There's places with worse weather that still have outdoor pools.

How about a simple pool, lawns and showers at the M. L. K. Elementary school property in Madison Valley? Everybody dive in! Or is the Bush School, as Larsen says, already buying that location from the city? (In that case, it could have squash courts and a nifty clubhouse where we could watch the tennis white families frolick, at least until the hedges filled in.) Also, Larsen says the U.W. wants to invest in an outdoor pool off campus, so she's thinking we should build a public pool in more northern climes, like Magnuson Park.

It's about time Seattle gave its horny topless lesbians a pool to make out in. I'll gladly lend every inch of my support to this cause.

i just wanted to point out that parks isn't strapped for cash, they're blowing money left and right on construction projects these days.

I LOVE outdoor pools. Growing up in Montana we had an outdoor pool that open during the summer only and it was a GREAT thing to look forward to every summer. They are much more fun for kids and the lifeguards get great tans! (I taught lessons there and lifeguarded from my Jr year in high school through college)

Many great memories as a kid going there and many great memories working there in the summers!

Build the outdoor pools!!! YEAH!!!!

When I saw that picture JSL, I thought this was a Mudede post.

But good choice. And a better read than a Mudede post, too.

Thanks.

No money in the parks dept.? Utter bullshit. What mike@14 said. They're blowing hundreds of thousands on construction projects and things people don't even WANT in their local park.

Pool people, get yours.
