LinkLinksOpinion Elizabeth H. Miller in The Post: D.C.’s parks department is playing for the wrong team By Editor On Sep 6, 2019 Last updated Sep 6, 2019 146 Share In April, I pulled into the parking lot of the Jelleff Recreation Center, home to one of the few regulation-size playing fields in Northwest Washington. I found the impeccably uniformed Maret School lacrosse team playing St. John Paul the Great Catholic High School from Dumfries. A dozen feet away, more than 100 public school children in the Jelleff after-care program watched television in the windowless basement of the building or played on their phones. A few kids hung on the fence watching the competition between these two private schools. In the parking lot, there were 45 cars from Maryland and Virginia. 146 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
