1 / 2Washington Park Pool (Outdoor)
đ Washington Park, IL
Large outdoor pool with water slide and shallow areas for kids, featuring zero-depth entry and accessible facilities. Limited family swim schedule may restrict visit timing.
I love this big beautiful clean pool. The only thing lacking here is lounge chairs. There are a few tables with umbrellas and metal wire chairs but no lounge chairs for lying by the side of the pool. Oh well, it's a great pool. They've updated the lock room since I was last there, admittedly that was years ago. But at any rate, it's nice with working lockers and a clean small bathroom and shower area.
đ Family Action Verdict
This is an excellent pool facility with fantastic features for families with young children, including a water slide and shallow play area. However, the extremely limited family swim times and weekend closure on Sundays make it very difficult to actually use. Best for families who can visit during the brief 45-minute daily family swim window and don't mind restrictive scheduling.

âThey need to change the swim schedule- having parent/child swim from 12:45 until 3:30pm on weekends overlaps with the most common nap times for toddlers, including mine. So I'm not even able to use the pool during the weekend AND it closes earlier at 4:45pm! Some other city pools are open until 7pm. I think the city should prioritize Washington Park pool being open longer because it has an awesome water slide and the best shallow play area for little kids. In summary, the pool is awesome but the schedule is not functional.â

âI feel like I'm taking crazy pills because this schedule is ridiculous. There is 45 minutes of family swim a day? And the pool is closed on Sunday, one of the two weekend days? Why do they have to separate family, teen, and youth times? Is this schedule actually convenient for anyone? Thankfully the lake is so close because I don't know if I will ever be able to swim here.â
