Fact Check : "But we don't have things like a nice skating rink or maybe a radio station that somebody could run."

Fact checking can go a hell of a long way -- particularly in articles about "gentrification." Reporters (and I use that term loosely) should not be sacrificing facts in favor of sensationalism. It's pandering at its worse, negligence at its best. Lastly, it's just plain tired. 

The covered skating pavilion at the north end of the park offers fun and exercise! Roller skates are free to check out with a valid I.D. from Memorial Day though Labor Day between 11:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m weekdays, and 11:00 a.m to 6:45 p.m weekends. Skates are available at the pavilion, but call the park ahead of time at (202) 472-3884 to ensure availability.
