That is patently ignorant. The water quality is tested regularly by the lifeguards just like any other public pool.This is what an emerging neighbourhood looks like. If you studied Toronto's history you'd know that Cabbagetown, immediately to the North of Regent Park, was once considered a 'ghetto' too. Now it is one of the most desirable places to live in the City. Regent Park is undergoing a massive urban renewal/development phase at the moment. Soon it'll be unrecognizable from the public housing days of old. There are condos going up everywhere, a beautiful new community centre , banks (they disappear in bad areas), supermarkets , plus a large park opening up right next to the pool.I'd be very happy to show both moonshyne and andriykoua around on the various developments there given that I volunteer with the City's Tourism Department and can provide some great insight into what is happening.Remember guys, Harlem too was once a 'scary' place to go. The smart money investors though saw the potential, invested early , and made a ton of profit. Now it is one of New York's premier communities.
