I noticed this in the mcdonalds parking lot, so I poked around in it with a stick to try to clear the drainage path.
I came to the conclusion that it has no outlet at all, it’s a permanent stagnant pond. It stinks pretty bad.

Sounds like an average McDonalds to me.
Corporate decided stagnant ponds were cheaper than Play Areas.
Drink it you coward
Just typical laziness. Sees problem. Doesn’t solve problem. Complains about problem.
McDonald’s has straws.
Put a # TODO comment on it
This is the way. Make sure that you don’t attempt to fix it, or even attempt to make it easier to fix, just add the #TODO.
Weird. Is that a culvert at the top of the image? It makes sense that runoff from the parking lot would terminate in a drainage ditch, but why it would have sidewalls like that is beyond me. Maybe it was a misunderstanding from the construction crew.
Looks to me like this is a “just get it off the parking lot, we don’t care what happens to it after that” drain.
I bet the pool area was only supposed to have a backstop wall the prevent erosion of the ditch, but the designer didn’t feel like it was necessary to detail it. Seems easy enough to fix with a concrete saw and a sledgehammer though.
Yes it is in a drainage ditch
Nah that’s actually a half pipe for skater gnomes.
The d is silent
Where’s a lawn chair when you need it?
You’d have to dig down to know
That is not a drain, it is technically now a sump.
It should have been filled with gravel. The kind fine enough to be used in an aquarium.
Why doesn’t it just
🤷♂️
This is why I always carry liquid hand soap
