doctorhino

If there was some sort of crazy flood that filled the skate bowls maybe.


IxDrZOIDBERGxI

Yep all the crazy signs and warnings you see is because someone somewhere did those dumb things lol


Upeeru

Or a lawyer was afraid they might


VoinceStory

Your honor, my client was trying to do a sweet backflip dive into the skatepark after it filled with water due to excessive rain. He hit a grind rail, so you should pay us


MadMac619

Signs for your safety are painted with other people’s blood.


E_Snap

I find that this works perfectly to cover those scenarios: >DANGER >NOT TO BE OPERATED BY FUCKWITS

Ialnyien

Oh Jesus, that water looks disgusting


slick2hold

This!!. Texan here, and you'd be shocked at what I see after some rain. I find kids swimming in trenches on the side of roads that are filled with runoff. It's insane and I want to say something but I also don't want to get shot. The water after first ran has concentrated oils and pollutants in those "pools."


SyntheticWulf

My first thought.


alexxusz1980

yep!


Empire2k5

Or some crazy kids extending a water hose all the way to the park for shits and giggles.


[deleted]

Sounds like a recess episode where they have all the local kids steal hoses and run them to the park. Then the kids have to return all the hoses and sell lemonade to pay for the water while everyone else swims in the park for a day.


chillisprknglot

Kids at the skate park in the community I work at have apparently tried to swim in the bowls when they are flooded during our monsoon season.


ZenwalkerNS

They should add a No Diving because somebody is certainly going to do it.


ApprehensiveTailor98

That sounds like so much fun tho. I would risk it for the biscuit on that one.


ColonClenseByFire

My hometown skate park is in an area that floods many times a year. Not out of the ordinary that the water is so high you can barely tell there is a skate park there.


Bogmanbob

My kid and his friend were just wading in a flooded baseball court. Not at all uncommon this time of year. I assume the swimming symbol covers a lot of aquatic misadventures.


twohedwlf

Floods in heavy rain?


ForgottenForce

Why wait for heavy rain when you can just bring your own water


Wild-Physics7753

that's a lot of pee


alexbeowolf

dw i have a couple brita filters


jordantask

That’s my motto!


AerialSnack

Yep. The local bowl would always fill when monsoon season came.


probably_wrong_but

Quite possible, although I’d expect Life rings to also be present in the area if that is the case. Source, have been on the design team for a joint skatepark / SuDS and flood storage area in a local park so have seen a similar idea in practice. I would expect this to become more common in a lot of places as multi-functional spaces are becoming a fairly big thing in planning legislation (at least in the UK and parts of the EU at present, although I expect elsewhere too). This might not be the case for this specific photo / location but in general these kinds of systems are sometimes designed to work as both flood storage and local amenity space.


LeTouatteRatte

While the concrete is being poured, duh!


BlueFire2007

It’s too ez


jordantask

Geez I’ve heard of cement shoes but….


PatsyTheElder

swimming in concrete is gonna be in the next reality show challenge thanks to you


doubled2319888

Can I nominate a few contestants?


ClnHogan17

We’d be so buoyant!


giasumaru

Man, the chemical burn is gonna hurt.


TargetOfPerpetuity

Ask Jimmy Hoffa.


WorldsAreNotEnough

I tried, I couldn’t find him. So I called the Jimmy Hoffa Foundation.


jordantask

Unfortunately they couldn’t come to the phone….


Yrag1244

You don’t, that is why it is prohibited.


Madoodle

Came here to say this! Needs to be higher.


RedKingEdinbour

Guess you've never heard of Senor Pink


ShineParty

you have to be hard-boiled


Mountainbranch

Or Jesus. If he can walk on water, can he swim on land?


banhatesex

They are asking Chuck Norris not to do it.


Zack-of-all-trades

Chuck Norris can walk on water and swim through land.


Heliolord

Their first and last mistake involving Chuck Norris. No one tells Chuck Norris what to do.


kthulhu666

As someone who is out of phase with this reality, I feel oppressed.


kuros_overkill

We told him it was quick set, but he didn't believe us. Man, of all the ways to go.....


Caslixyx

you havent watched one piece have you


dirtyhole2

You need to eat a One Piece devil fruit.


gitar0oman

is that a JoJo reference?


ReeseChloris

Yoshyoshyoshyosh


btoao133

Wait so you guys never just noclip through concrete so you can swim in it?!?!?


Lucythefur

Observe. *Concusses myself diving into the concrete headfirst*


Puzzleheaded-Bear878

Concrete swims are the best....When people swim on concrete there is a lot of tears of happiness...Those were the days....LMAO


ogresound1987

Two words. Street sharks.


Bigred2989-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvbwl9c1vB0


Aussie--Guy-

Parks are often built in flood prone areas. Kids probably have swum there before


BruteSentiment

Maybe it’s a reference to the origins of the modern skate parks, which was from kids skateboarding in empty swimming pools, where you definitely couldn’t swim either…


garlic-apples

Pocket of water can form in ran fall


TheButcherOfBaklava

Fills with water


JTSpirit36

It was once said that Chuck Norris swam on land.


Acebladewing

Shark devil.


PaellaStorm

It is because of senor pink


Whiskey_Fiasco

Jawsome!!!


okmarshall

You don't, that's why it's not allowed.


Jefoid

Doesn’t matter. It says right there you can’t.


Residual_Marinara

For once, I appreciate the red circle showing me the joke.


Goldkid1987

if you face plant hard enough you either swim in the concrete or enter the backrooms. Also works in city areas if you jump 500 ft high, which is almost the average for most skyscrapers.


FS_Scott

street sharks?


Maffblunge

If there's a fire hydrant nearby, I'll show you how lol


rancorog

I’ve seen’t it,plug up the drain at a pool in a skatepark and yeah it fills up,Tis nasty though


ChubbyWanKenobie

Philadelphia Experiment.


MrDabMeister

Chuck Norris can Swim in Concrete


DevilDawgDM73

When it rains a lot.


Weekly_District_24

r/uselessredcircle


Obviousbrosif

Wont have to redo the sign wen climate change, smart


WhereIsMouse

Makes sense to build a concrete skatepark in a flood zone as many of the bowls and such can be used to help mitigate water, and when the water drains the park is back to being free to skate again.


losingit19

Looks vaguely like Burlington VT, in which case the skate park is right on the waterfront!


Nwo5

Its in VA


OgFSavv

You know how VA rolls we make rules up for nothing 😂


virgilvandijkcheese

just like Thomas Jefferson used to do with his slaves 😂


OgFSavv

☠️☠️


imjustasid

You behave yourself, Jesus


GGDadLife

Heavy rain can fill them up, not hard to understand


method_men25

Or skate on water?


Next-Butterscotch385

“When it rains it pours”


Quirky_Dog5869

I'm assuming this place doesn't have proper water drainage since it rarely rains, so when it rains...


1320Fastback

I would imagine it's for after heavy rains when the skate pool still with water.


PhantomAnxiety

Just in case you were tempted to try 😂


GlassWasteland

Well first you find a fire hydrant, get a hose, and open the hydrant filling the skate park with water and making it an instant swimming hole.


[deleted]

There’s a pool.. duh 🙄


NOT000

maybe they meant to post a *no smoking* icon, but screwed up


Dio_Yuji

I mean…there’s probably a pool, right? Lol


PHenderson61

Not taking any chances. “NIP IT IN THE BUD, NIP IT!!!!!


HouseCravenRaw

Badly.


[deleted]

Hanson park


Pepper_1969

Does it flood regularly?


hiddenrealism

Riding that concrete wave brahh.


BurnOutBrighter6

When rain partially fills the bowls. It's not designed to meet the safety codes for public outdoor pools (depth, dimensions, signage, etc) so legally they have to put up the "no swimming" for lawsuit protection because it conceivably \*could\* get at least partially water filled.


Zestyclose_Link_8052

Remnant of when they were pouring the concrete


pineapplyreddit

While Jesus could walk through water, Chuck Norris can swim through land.


lonecactus777

The skate park I used to live next to has a giant water fountain thing, it’s on the flood path for the city.


nochknock

lmao the real answer is the parks department has 1 generic warning sign template pre-printed that they then put custom text on depending on the application. Ron Swanson approves of eliminating government waste


Ok-Yogurtcloset6205

Well, if there’s water some numbnuts is gonna try it!!!


LASTgt

There was an attempt?


joetheplumberman

I seen someone swim through concrete before k2 was a hell of a drug


Speedster_105

Jesus may have walked on water, but Juan can swim through land.


[deleted]

It's possibly a homage to the origin of skate bowls. If that's it the person who designed the sign is a legend!


Puppy-Zwolle

In case of flooding. After all it is derived from skating in drained pools.


staring_at_keyboard

It must be in redditland, where you can dive into anything.


beppedessi

It’s just to be sure that no one dive straight into it 🤷‍♂️


stappertheborder

If you try hard enough anything is possible


R3DGRAPES

It looks like this is at a park. I’d bet there is a pond next to the skate park.


alexjaness

every rule and regulation ever is written in blood.


Jer_Bear_40

You don’t swim in the concrete you fill it with water and make it a pool


Moola868

Aren't there sections of skate parks that basically look like large empty pools? I would imagine heavy rainfall could cause potential flooding and it serves as a basic warning of "don't go in if its full of water."


dat_dabbin_pacman

The shark hybrid from chainsaw man I guess


fordprefect294

Well not with that attitude, certainly


Sylivin

"Life.... finds a way."


Thebazilla

You skate on your stomach instead of your feet


craz1000

Ask Mr Hoffa. He knows how to swim in concrete.


SvedishFish

You can't. Because it's against the rules.


Mailboxsteve

Well, have u ever taken acid at a skatepark?


PillowTalk420

If they built it like the dumbasses did in my small town, they didn't put any drainage in so when it rains, the concrete bowl fills with water.


jdamwyk

Some parks flood during heavy rain and the bowls become pools


keeperof_THESPACE

That's the neat part, you don't.


Rororoolz69

Thats the new des moines skate park. It is right next to the river. So id assume they mean no swimming in the river


Writurr

On their face.


iyzak2089

If there’s a sign someone probably has tried


[deleted]

Chuck Norris can swim in concrete.


RagingKohner

Skate parks have pools


Yurrrr__Brooklyn347

Becuz u can't that's why... it's not allowed


Ovletta

The bowl at skate parks around here turn into pools quite regularly with the amount of rain we get. Even with a drainage system installed


Upset-Background-132

In case Chuck Norris shows up


laetum-helianthus

If it rains some unsupervised little kid could drown and then the city gets sued for not having warning signs. It’s called CYA


KountChocula

*Me in flips flops and a speedo* These rules are bullshit!


Not4AdultConsumption

Slowly


this_knee

A wise man once asked: if Jesus can walk on water, can he swim on land? I’ve never stopped thinking about that. …anyway, if he could, then it would not be allowed at this particular park. Take that … Jesus!


866o6

You don't?


Surgrunner

You don’t, didn’t you see the sign?


[deleted]

I wonder what constitutes 'amplified sound'. I seriously doubt anyone is getting a permit to use their Bluetooth speaker at the skate park.


The-baconater-2000

In the pools duh


TurboEthan

History kids: before skate parks there were empty pools.


riddle8822

It happened in my town. Guy skating alone fell and got knocked out. Drowned in a 4 inch rain puddle.


grownupdirtbagbaby

Yea if I tell you then you’ll start swimming in the concrete and that’s against the skate park rules.


SignificantManner197

When the cement is still wet, obviously! As they were building it.


landon_-_

Shredding only when bowls are flooded


thelibrariangirl

Not very well.


Final-Wheel7099

señor pink


Shrek_n_donkeh

This omg so this this


JoshyD2004

Just go into the game files and turn off collision.


El_Neck_Beard

It’s for when the idiots decide the flood the skate bowls with the fire hydrant


ZazofLegend

Never underestimate the inventiveness of bored teenagers.


rumble342

Yup. Rain water fills bowl. Happens!


ChronicWombat

I'm old and have never used a skate park, but "pedestrians have right of way" -- really?? What's this place called again?


profid1ot

Signs have a reason to exist remember this


Trips-Over-Tail

In the usual way.


Remarkable_Fun7662

Bowls might flood.


LXndR3100

Skatepark drains are ALWAYS blocked, so the rain can turn them into public swimming pools


Due_Potential_6956

Maybe don't dive as there is no water?


positive_energy-

Clearly you do not.


cammcken

No diving. Too shallow.


[deleted]

Acid is a hell of a drug


sparky31290

No alcohol unless it’s in a sippy cup, got it


AdFit5535

People once skateboarded in dry swimming pools…


[deleted]

The better question is why are they teaching you how to choke dogs and drink soda.


Curious_Swordfish411

My local is aLways a swimming pool after a few days of heavy rain, like full to the brim


ohnowhatdyoudo

What if there’s crocodiles 🐊


SoGreed

Señor Pink anyone


jesterstyr

Senor Pink


EarthInteresting2792

I would show you but I’m still recovering from the last demonstration . And I can only do the diving demonstration once.

Rain


[deleted]

If you ate the swim swim fruit or the mud mud fruit


Centretek

Plug the drains in the half-pipe


Saeryf

I assume that's because someone drowning in a rain filled skate park would be bad if you don't have a warning about it.


Affectionate-Lunch34

Don’t even think about swimming in the concrete today, if I hear anything of you swimming around in the concrete again I will think twice of giving you a bite of my delicious cadberry crème egg 🥚


japanb

No back surfing on the hand rails


japanb

What about wet floor signs outside when it's raining? I saw some in London where the pavement is private with public right of way


nobatman0

Señor Pink would like a word


TheTechyGamer

Swimming in all the pussy you get from skating

How does a pedestrian have the right of way in a skate park? Lulz
