Miami City of Coral Gables' Venetian Pool

http://www.yctv.tv/miami/ - The fantastical Venetian Pool was created to satisfy the imaginative urges of local designer Denman Fink. In 1923, he transformed a rock quarry into a dramatically beautiful swimming pool that's still a favorite place to cool off. Its setting features canals, a man-made island, fountains, waterfalls, coral caves and other whimsical touches. The pool's impeccable condition is maintained by daily drainage and an evening refill of more than 800,000 gallons of artesian water. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Children under 3 are not permitted. 2701 De Soto Blvd, Coral Gables

This is nonsense! "almost cut my foot..."

WHO TODAY TAKES GLASS BOTTLES (BEER?) TO A PLACE LIKE VENETIAN POOL (a private, late night party?)

IF SO, HOW WOULD THAT BE THE FAULT OF THE CITY? SIFT THE SANDS FOR SHARDS AND BE A CURE

INSTEAD OF A CUT?

Reid Welch,

a bit defensive for Venetian Pool!

Dirtiest swimming pool I have ever visited...

It is very sad since this place was built so nicely.

This place has been operating really badly.

been there! almost cut my foot in on the beach with broken glass... far too much hype.
