Swimming Pools out of Dumpsters: Park Ave Dumpster Diving

Ah, the things White Liberals do. I guarantee all these people are O-bots.



New York Post

The city is turning Park Avenue into a swimming hole.

For the next three Saturdays,
a series of pools made from converted Dumpsters will line the busy thoroughfare between 40th and 41st streets as part of the Summer Streets program.

The 8-by-22-foot pools, which range from 3½ to 4½ feet deep and have their own filtration systems, will be open to 10 swimmers at a time from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Designer David Belt, whose company Macro-sea first debuted the Dumpster pools last year in Brooklyn, says the bins make for fantastic watering holes.

"It's unusual to put a pool in a Dumpster, but we chose Dumpsters because they're highly portable," he said, noting these have never had garbage in them.
"I wanted to do it on Park Avenue because it's the ultimate contradiction. It will be wild to see people swimming on Park Avenue, near Grand Central, in bathing suits -- shocking."
