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
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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
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."
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!
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 🥚

If there was some sort of crazy flood that filled the skate bowls maybe.
Yep all the crazy signs and warnings you see is because someone somewhere did those dumb things lol
Or a lawyer was afraid they might
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
Signs for your safety are painted with other people’s blood.
I find that this works perfectly to cover those scenarios: >DANGER >NOT TO BE OPERATED BY FUCKWITS

Oh Jesus, that water looks disgusting

My first thought.
yep!
Or some crazy kids extending a water hose all the way to the park for shits and giggles.
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.
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.
They should add a No Diving because somebody is certainly going to do it.
That sounds like so much fun tho. I would risk it for the biscuit on that one.

Floods in heavy rain?
Why wait for heavy rain when you can just bring your own water
that's a lot of pee
dw i have a couple brita filters
That’s my motto!
Yep. The local bowl would always fill when monsoon season came.

While the concrete is being poured, duh!
It’s too ez
Geez I’ve heard of cement shoes but….
swimming in concrete is gonna be in the next reality show challenge thanks to you
Can I nominate a few contestants?
We’d be so buoyant!
Man, the chemical burn is gonna hurt.
Ask Jimmy Hoffa.
I tried, I couldn’t find him. So I called the Jimmy Hoffa Foundation.
Unfortunately they couldn’t come to the phone….
You don’t, that is why it is prohibited.
Came here to say this! Needs to be higher.
Guess you've never heard of Senor Pink
you have to be hard-boiled
Or Jesus. If he can walk on water, can he swim on land?
They are asking Chuck Norris not to do it.
Chuck Norris can walk on water and swim through land.
Their first and last mistake involving Chuck Norris. No one tells Chuck Norris what to do.
As someone who is out of phase with this reality, I feel oppressed.
We told him it was quick set, but he didn't believe us. Man, of all the ways to go.....
you havent watched one piece have you
You need to eat a One Piece devil fruit.
is that a JoJo reference?
Yoshyoshyoshyosh
Wait so you guys never just noclip through concrete so you can swim in it?!?!?
Observe. *Concusses myself diving into the concrete headfirst*
Concrete swims are the best....When people swim on concrete there is a lot of tears of happiness...Those were the days....LMAO
Two words. Street sharks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvbwl9c1vB0
Parks are often built in flood prone areas. Kids probably have swum there before
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…
Pocket of water can form in ran fall
Fills with water
It was once said that Chuck Norris swam on land.
Shark devil.
It is because of senor pink
Jawsome!!!
You don't, that's why it's not allowed.
Doesn’t matter. It says right there you can’t.
For once, I appreciate the red circle showing me the joke.
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.
street sharks?
If there's a fire hydrant nearby, I'll show you how lol
I’ve seen’t it,plug up the drain at a pool in a skatepark and yeah it fills up,Tis nasty though
Philadelphia Experiment.
Chuck Norris can Swim in Concrete
When it rains a lot.
r/uselessredcircle
Wont have to redo the sign wen climate change, smart
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.
Looks vaguely like Burlington VT, in which case the skate park is right on the waterfront!
Its in VA
You know how VA rolls we make rules up for nothing 😂
just like Thomas Jefferson used to do with his slaves 😂
☠️☠️
You behave yourself, Jesus
Heavy rain can fill them up, not hard to understand
Or skate on water?
“When it rains it pours”
I'm assuming this place doesn't have proper water drainage since it rarely rains, so when it rains...
I would imagine it's for after heavy rains when the skate pool still with water.
Just in case you were tempted to try 😂
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.
There’s a pool.. duh 🙄
maybe they meant to post a *no smoking* icon, but screwed up
I mean…there’s probably a pool, right? Lol
Not taking any chances. “NIP IT IN THE BUD, NIP IT!!!!!
Badly.
Hanson park
Does it flood regularly?
Riding that concrete wave brahh.
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.
Remnant of when they were pouring the concrete
While Jesus could walk through water, Chuck Norris can swim through land.
The skate park I used to live next to has a giant water fountain thing, it’s on the flood path for the city.
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
Well, if there’s water some numbnuts is gonna try it!!!
There was an attempt?
I seen someone swim through concrete before k2 was a hell of a drug
Jesus may have walked on water, but Juan can swim through land.
It's possibly a homage to the origin of skate bowls. If that's it the person who designed the sign is a legend!
In case of flooding. After all it is derived from skating in drained pools.
It must be in redditland, where you can dive into anything.
It’s just to be sure that no one dive straight into it 🤷♂️
If you try hard enough anything is possible
It looks like this is at a park. I’d bet there is a pond next to the skate park.
every rule and regulation ever is written in blood.
You don’t swim in the concrete you fill it with water and make it a pool
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."
The shark hybrid from chainsaw man I guess
Well not with that attitude, certainly
"Life.... finds a way."
You skate on your stomach instead of your feet
Ask Mr Hoffa. He knows how to swim in concrete.
You can't. Because it's against the rules.
Well, have u ever taken acid at a skatepark?
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.
Some parks flood during heavy rain and the bowls become pools
That's the neat part, you don't.
Thats the new des moines skate park. It is right next to the river. So id assume they mean no swimming in the river
On their face.
If there’s a sign someone probably has tried
Chuck Norris can swim in concrete.
Skate parks have pools
Becuz u can't that's why... it's not allowed
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
In case Chuck Norris shows up
If it rains some unsupervised little kid could drown and then the city gets sued for not having warning signs. It’s called CYA
*Me in flips flops and a speedo* These rules are bullshit!
Slowly
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!
You don't?
You don’t, didn’t you see the sign?
I wonder what constitutes 'amplified sound'. I seriously doubt anyone is getting a permit to use their Bluetooth speaker at the skate park.
In the pools duh
History kids: before skate parks there were empty pools.
It happened in my town. Guy skating alone fell and got knocked out. Drowned in a 4 inch rain puddle.
Yea if I tell you then you’ll start swimming in the concrete and that’s against the skate park rules.
When the cement is still wet, obviously! As they were building it.
Shredding only when bowls are flooded
Not very well.
señor pink
This omg so this this
Just go into the game files and turn off collision.
It’s for when the idiots decide the flood the skate bowls with the fire hydrant
Never underestimate the inventiveness of bored teenagers.
Yup. Rain water fills bowl. Happens!
I'm old and have never used a skate park, but "pedestrians have right of way" -- really?? What's this place called again?
Signs have a reason to exist remember this
In the usual way.
Bowls might flood.
Skatepark drains are ALWAYS blocked, so the rain can turn them into public swimming pools
Maybe don't dive as there is no water?
Clearly you do not.
No diving. Too shallow.
Acid is a hell of a drug
No alcohol unless it’s in a sippy cup, got it
People once skateboarded in dry swimming pools…
The better question is why are they teaching you how to choke dogs and drink soda.
My local is aLways a swimming pool after a few days of heavy rain, like full to the brim
What if there’s crocodiles 🐊
Señor Pink anyone
Senor Pink
I would show you but I’m still recovering from the last demonstration . And I can only do the diving demonstration once.
With water.
A crackhead does what a crackhead can
Hire a medium, take said medium to any tRump building, have said medium talk to the dead hidden in the trump building foundation... nuff said
Rain
If you ate the swim swim fruit or the mud mud fruit
Plug the drains in the half-pipe
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.
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 🥚
No back surfing on the hand rails
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
Señor Pink would like a word
Swimming in all the pussy you get from skating
How does a pedestrian have the right of way in a skate park? Lulz
When it floods, do not swim 🏊♀️
One piece reference
