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

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

Banshu t1_jegj6cl wrote

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.

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.

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

Goldkid1987 t1_jegxnv5 wrote

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.

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

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

GlassWasteland t1_jeflnwn wrote

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.

BurnOutBrighter6 t1_jefux3v wrote

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.

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

WhereIsMouse t1_jefyesf wrote

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.

nochknock t1_jefzyme wrote

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.

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.

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

Moola868 t1_jegaz6n wrote

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."

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.
