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**
🏆 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.

“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!”

“I remember when this place used to be packed with Hispanic families it had a lively and vibrant vibe. Coming back recently, the neighborhood dynamic has definitely changed, and it feels much more chill now. They've also renovated the locker rooms, making them smaller than before. Just a heads-up: they no longer provide shampoo or soap, so it's best to bring your own. There are lawn chairs available for use, which is convenient. Every 45 minutes to an hour, they make everyone evacuate the pool and wait outside for a mandatory 15-minute break. There's a nice park next door and a play area for kids. Unfortunately, they removed the kiddie pool, so that might be a drawback if you have little ones.”
