Park District of Forest Park Aquatic Center

The pool is beautiful and well taken care of, but the restrooms and the dressing rooms are really dirty and old. There should be two queues at the entrance, one for the people with passes and the other for the one day pass ones, as it takes too long to get in. In my opinion, it is too expensive for the quality of the premises. Lifeguards do a great job though.

I really love this Aquatic Center. I don’t live in Forest Park (live in OP), but it’s worth paying nonresident entrance fee to come here. The kids area has a great splash pad and water playground. The life guards are well trained and attentive. Everything is clean. Very well run facility.

This was our first time visiting. I have a 1,4 and 7 year old. None of us are swimmers. And because of this, when checking in, we all were given red wrist bands to indicate that. The life guards would keep an extra eye out for those with the red wrist bands on . Coming in, there is a shallow pool that progressively gets deeper..maybe up to 3 1/2 feet. My four year old who is about 40 inches tall, made his way to the middle of the pool, where he went under. I was maybe 10 feet away as I was inching my way to him. Before I could grab him, the amazing life guards, maybe 2-3 jumped in and grabbed him. They suggested he put on a life jacket. I gave them my ID and rented ( it was free) 3 for all of my children. I should have followed my 1st mind and got them life jackets before we got in the pool. Lesson learned! Overall the aquatic center is clean, the shower rooms and bathrooms could be cleaner. My kids and I enjoyed it. The heated water was a plus because it was a cool 70s and cloudy kind of day. We loved loved loved the splash pad area. There were life guards EVERYWHERE and they rotated! They were on it! I felt safe. My little one and I were a little shaken up. I thank GOD that the lifeguards jumped into action and that my baby is ok! I know this is a long post but 1.Get in the pool with your little ones 2. Pay attention 3. Get that life vest, even if they are in shallow water. Drownings can happen fast and quietly. Your staff was amazing we will be back!

Pool hours and rules not correct online. The staff was too busy talking amongst themselves to attend customers. Waited 15min to be told that you needed to be a resident in order to gain access to the pool. Please updates hours and get nicer staff.
