Must be that chemical that turns the water blue when you pee in the pool.

Can't really tell that's an algae, microbe, chemical or dye effect...

Not sure how "legitimate" this change was, but walking by this afternoon, I noticed someone had spilled a little of whatever product was used:

Here’s hoping that Love Park’s blueness is non-toxic akin to the green dye used on the Chicago River every St. Patrick’s Day.

On Saturday it was definitely not blue.

Pond dye is quite common, and used on rural acreages to make ponds more attractive. It’s harmless to fish and any life in the pond. It also has the added benefit of reducing the amount of light that penetrates deep into the water, which helps reduce algae blooms etc. Here’s an example of it in action. I honestly really like how it looks.

Looks like they are dumping the water and power washing the Blue out. Thanks whomever dumped the dye. Now our tax dollars gets to pay for the clean up.

Well that’s unfortunate. My hot take is the City should dye more ponds because it looks really nice.

So it wasn't sanctioned then, I gather?
