1 / 2Gill Pool (Indoor)
📍 Lake View East, IL
A 25-yard, 6-lane indoor community pool inside Joseph Gill Park with pool lifts, ADA stairs, and helpful staff. Ranges from 3 to 9 feet deep with seasonal schedules covering open swim and structured programs.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want an accessible, affordable community pool with reliable staff support. The pool lift and ADA stairs make it welcoming for swimmers with mobility needs - one reviewer used the lift following a hemipelvectomy and had a fully accessible experience. Water runs cool, which may not suit very young children.

“I recently became an amputee. I lost a leg. After healing from a hemipelvectomy, I was ready for my first swim. The pk dist staffer helped me take a lift to the pool. They were very friendly and helpful. They offered a chair lift to get me into the water. The experience was completely accessible. They were attentive as I entered the water for my first swim after 2 yrs of relative inactivity. I had a great swim. Restrm was accessible. I would highly recommend the pool for all who might need accommodations to be able to swim. My swim was fabulous.”
