A few Summers ago, there were infamous pool parties in an empty, decrepit old pool in Brooklyn. (Think drinking, music, and slip 'n' slides.) Now there's a new pool in the borough — and this time it's full. One exception — there always is there — it's in a dumpster. The dumpsters have been cleaned and lined and filled with water that's not from the Hudson, so . . . what could be so bad?
The UrbanEye at the New York Times went there to check out the now not-so-secret spot. Would you jump in?

Could be totally fun thing out of the ordinary to do.. but yah, I'd need it repainted and Kilz'd before I'm jumping in
1Hipster or Homeless to new lows; god luv ya Brooklyn
2I doubt I'd go swimming in a dumpster but since Toronto has a city workers strike and all the pools/parks are being used as temporary dump sites, then this could be an easy solution for those in the city missing city-run pools.
3Nope. I'm not a fan of swimming pools though.
4There's no way the health department wouldn't put up a fuss if they weren't cleaned properly. I think it's worse to be in a pool with babies in their diapers. Gross.
5Hah! We could all use a little more news like that today. Too bad they didn't sink those babies in the ground like huge jacuzzi's.
6hell no, it's bad enough worrying about someone peeing in the water next to me, but swimming around in a dumpster? i don't think so. the hipsters are always pulling some weird s**t out in bk.
