Dumpster Pools

Is there really such a thing as a dumpster swimming pool?

Surprisingly, the answer is yes. A pool made out of re-purposed dumpsters sits in the middle of an old lot in an industrial neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The pool, which opened in early July, was created by Macro Sea as a test pilot for a larger strategy that involves breathing new life into old American strip malls.

Macro Sea's vision is to buy up underused strip malls and turn them into vibrant neighborhood communities where anyone can shop, eat, swim, watch outdoor movies, hear live music, and just get together in cool outdoor and indoor spaces.

What a great idea!
