About
Gage Park Pool (Outdoor) is a seasonal public swimming facility situated within Gage Park at 2411 W 55th St, Chicago, IL. It provides outdoor recreational swimming opportunities for the community, typically operating during the summer months.
Specific, consistently maintained pool temperatures are not generally published for this outdoor facility. As an outdoor pool, its water temperature is primarily ambient and will fluctuate based on prevailing weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives positive feedback for being a nice swimming area that is never packed or overwhelmed. Lifeguards are consistently praised for being amazing, proactive in ensuring safety (saving a child from drowning, teaching kids to swim), and effectively enforcing rules, with many patrons requesting the same crew return. However, there are significant negative experiences reported, including incidents of minors misbehaving (harassing, attempting to drown, stealing items), patrons being disrespectful to lifeguards, and parents neglecting their children. Additionally, food from the summer camp was criticized for poor quality (e.g., a rotten peach).

The lifeguards were amazing. They saved my child when he was on the verge of drowning. If possible, I want the same lifeguards back. I just don’t want people to be talking back to the lifeguards when they’re doing their job. I heard lifeguards screaming at patrons to not walk, eat, or bring bikes into the Pool deck. That’s doing their job. Some people were just offended by the simple fact that the guards were doing their job and some parents just left their kids out in the 5 ft water to drown DURING FAMILY SWIM.
