1 / 2Holstein Park Public Pool (Outdoor)
📍 Bucktown, IL
Heated 50-yard, 6-lane outdoor pool with depths from 3 to 9 feet. ADA accessible with pool lift. Free admission, deck chairs available, and an adjacent shaded playground. Toddler splash pool available during family swim sessions.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age swimmers who want a clean, uncrowded public pool without admission costs. The adjacent playground keeps younger siblings engaged during mandatory rest breaks. Families should bring their own shampoo and soap - they are no longer provided on-site.

“Hey hey! Come to the Holstein Pool! Picture below is the schedule from June 26th-August 4th. Did you know Holstein has a heated pool? And a splash pool open during family swims. Open earlier on Tues & Thurs for lap swim, which is FREE this summer. Pool is free, per usual. 😊 **Open 11pm - 4pm on 4th of July**”

“Such a great pool for families. Definitely more family oriented than most Chicago Public pools. Clean. Fun. Great place for our little family to cool off these hot summer Chicago days!”
