[Deleted for violating the comment policy.] DC has a lot of accessible park land. I live near Logan Circle (a park with multiple uses including dog park) which itself is within a half mile of a rec center and at least one other dog park, tennis courts, and Stead Park. When I lived in Adams-Morgan, I first lived near Kalorama Triangle (which has a park--two if you count the triangle with benches) and the park along Adams Mill. Many people use the Zoo in off peak hours as a neighborhood park. The list goes on... despite whining about Rock Creek Park--it is heavily used and has "tributaries" like battery Kimble and various offshoots like P Street Beach and the park next to Georgetown on N St. And DC has plenty of pools.

Scroll down to say, Atlanta, which is in the middle of the pack and it;'s a different story. One really big public park, one pretty big one with the zoo, rather few within walking distance of "walking neighborhoods (like my old one), very few pools (a segregation legacy), etc. DC stacks up pretty well to places like that.
