Bizarre swimming pool on NYC street dismantled leaving local hearts drained

The pool party’s over.

A makeshift swimming pool set up on a street in the Bronx was taken down by those responsible after it caught the attention of the NYPD, upset neighbors revealed.

A TikTok video shows a group of men dismantling the makeshift pool outside a Mount Hope Place building.

“I don’t know why they took it down, but I think it was the cops who told them,” a puzzled woman who lives in the building said Tuesday.

“I mean it was fun for the kids.”

The large street pool was built by Kenny Perez, a resident of the area and a former lifeguard, as a surprise for his son’s birthday, as reported by The Post on Monday.

His creation — which he made from $2,000 worth of materials scrounged from Facebook Marketplace — was an instant hit in the summer heat.

Videos showcasing the unusual scene of a huge swimming pool beside a New York City street – where happy children were playing and adventurous individuals were diving into it from a nearby building’s scaffolding – went viral online, garnering millions of views.

But the NYPD fielded numerous complaints since July 4, police said.

Cops asked residents to drain the “illegal swimming pool” during the holiday, but it was quickly refilled, NYPD officials said.

After repeated warnings, NYPD officials requested Monday that the city’s sanitation workers remove the pool once and for all.

Locals, however, seem to have beaten the city to the punch — and some blamed The Post’s exclusive report on the pool for its demise, despite the days of complaints to the NYPD.

“The f—king New York Post got it shut down,” one irate man ranted.
