About

Clean outdoor pool set amid trees, offering deep water, slides, a diving board, and a kids' area.

Specific pool temperatures for Community Park Outdoor Swimming Pool are not consistently published. As a seasonal outdoor facility, water temperatures typically fluctuate with ambient weather conditions, although many municipal pools are equipped with heating systems to maintain a comfortable swim environment during operational hours.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The water park garners praise for its ideal size, cleanliness, and attentive lifeguards, with many preferring it over other local options. However, significant negative feedback revolves around customer service, particularly the refusal of refunds or adequate compensation when the pool closes unexpectedly (e.g., due to power outages) shortly after admission fees are paid. This has led to frustration and a loss of repeat customers. Other critiques include a need for more portable toilets and an unrelated but negative experience with staff behavior at a connected 'Palos owned' facility.

We've been going to this water park since 2024 and love it! It's the perfect size for my boys and everyone there is great. The lifeguards are very attentive and everything is always clean and well taken care of. I'd much rather go here than any others around!

Moved into the area a few years ago and visited this pool many times throughout each summer but after my experience today I’m not sure I’ll go back…I paid the 17 dollars to enter the pool and as I was changing in the locker room changing they announced that every person had to exit the water bc there was a power outage. Then a few moments after I entered the pool area they then announced they were closing the pool for the day bc of the power outage. I get things happen and that’s not why I’m upset, I was upset bc they wouldn’t issue me a refund even though I was only there for less than 10 mins. The cashier even said she felt bad bc she knew I had just paid but there was nothing she could. Even after talking to a manager they still wouldn’t budge. I know it’s only 17 dollars but even if there is a no refund policy there still should be some exemptions, especially in a circumstance as the one I just had experienced. Shame on the staff for driving away a repeat customer over a small issue that should have been easily resolved. I would have settled for a discount for my next visit but that was a no go as well. I’ll consider taking my business elsewhere.

Wen I got there they said we have to wait 15 minutes and then the 15 minutes is over. I didn’t even touch the pool yet and then they said the lights were off electricity. Please leave the pool we give free discounts no refunds but unless they gave us a free pass.
