“Seeing the disappointed parents and children and soccer players seems a bit much.”

11th Street, NW between Kenyon and Irving

“Dear PoPville,

So we knew Harriet Tubman was going to be shutdown for 2 years while they demolish and rebuild. Did we know they were going to lock the adjacent playground and the soccer field as a result?

Just feels like no notice was given to the community that these two things would be paused for the next 2 years.

Any insight? Seeing the disappointed parents and children and soccer players seems a bit much.

It reopens 2026-2027 school year.”
