1 / 3Welles Park Pool (Indoor)
📍 Lincoln Square, IL
A 25-yard indoor pool with accessibility features including pool lift and ADA stairs. Parents note facility maintenance and staff issues that affect the experience.
Nice indoor pool. Hours unpredictable / change often, so check the Welles Park District page. Parents/guardians have to get in pool during family swim slots.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
This indoor pool could work for families willing to overlook significant facility issues, but the combination of rude staff, poor supervision, and dirty conditions make it hard to recommend. Best suited for families desperate for indoor swim options who can tolerate subpar maintenance and service.

“Beautiful pool. Locker room could be cleaner. Doors and windows wide open to make a very drafty swim. There is a urine smell in the locker room by the showers and showers are cold.”

“The locker rooms are some of the worst I’ve seen in the entire city. No shower curtains. Rusted hardware attaching the benches. No doors on the private changing area. They need to throw a fundraiser immediately so folks can pitch in to fix the locker rooms ASAP”

“I love this pool, but the staff is so rude! I would advise this facility to train their front desk staff to be more polite; really ruined my day to be treated like an idiot when I asked a simple question.”
