DMV residents are clear on this issue: do not overhaul East Potomac Golf links and do not expand to take over the entire peninsula #saveeastpo

This is not a political movement. We are golfers, cyclists, runners, families and neighbors who love one of the great public spaces in America. East Potomac Park belongs to everyone. We just want to keep it that way.

This photo is from the 1940s. John Walker played East Potomac after returning home from WWII. This place has been part of people's lives for generations. The beautiful thing about places like this is they can be preserved so future generations experience the same joy. (📸E. Ternes)

Tom Fazio just gave a lengthy interview about the East Potomac renovation. A few things worth noting. (Thread)

Spoke to Tom Fazio this week about Trump’s D.C. muni project. At first, Fazio didn’t want the job, fearing the “aggravation” of all the red tape. Then he saw the site and couldn’t resist.
Here’s the scoop on his plan. golf.com/news/plan-president…

Best case scenario this course closes for construction later this summer and does not reopen until spring 2028. Nearly two years. 125,000 rounds a year gone. The DMV community that relies on this course as an affordable public space simply loses it

And still, after all of this, there is no commitment to the cyclists, runners, families and non-golf users of this peninsula. No written affordability guarantee. No community input. Nothing.

Out at East Potomac yesterday. I have never seen it this packed. Families picnicking under the trees, Ohio Drive lined with cars, people everywhere just enjoying one of the great public spaces in the DMV. These are the people who do not want these changes.

When in the history of the world has the group trying to protect a public park from a luxury golf course been the bad guy. And for those excited about championship golf: what exactly is the plan to keep it affordable for the everyday DMV resident who uses it today?

We are not a political organization. We have no interest in commenting on politics. We are just people who love East Potomac and want to make sure the character of this special place continues for the next generation of DMV residents.

Set aside the debate about the future of East Potomac for a moment. The administration plans to use East Wing debris to regrade the course. Debris that tested positive for lead and chromium. At a public park. Nobody should be okay with this.

Here is why this design is still not acceptable. (Thread)
Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.
Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

4. Secretary Burgum says affordable and discounted rates. Great. Put it in writing. Specific numbers. Enforceable commitments. A press release promise on public land is not a guarantee.

We will continue to demand transparency in this process and ensure the needs of all DMV community members are met. Golfers, cyclists, runners, families. All of them. We are not taking the spotlight off this and demand public engagement. saveeastpo.com

Raising private donations is a clever way to bypass the public funding process that exists specifically to give everyday people a say in decisions like this. Instead of consulting the DMV residents who use East Potomac every day, you just need the two dozen people willing to write a big enough check

And then you end up with this. Renderings that erase every single person who uses East Potomac and is not there for a luxury championship golf experience. The runners. The cyclists. The families. The birders. The casual golfers. None of them were asked.

A lot of people say East Potomac is a mess and that the Trump administration getting involved is actually a good thing. We disagree. Here is why. (1/5)

There is no written commitment that green fees stay affordable. None. A vague promise in a press release is not a guarantee. Who does a championship course at higher prices actually serve? (4/5)

You do not fix a beloved 100 year old public institution by handing it to an administration that has shown no interest in the people who use it. You fix it by investing in what it already is. (5/5)
