Nice and cozy aquatic center that serves Hawthorn Woods. Unfortunately, Lake Zurich does not have residents price, but that is fine. Park is small, but has lap pool, diving board, area for small kids. Changing rooms are clean. Good place for birthdays parties and just to hang out with small kids, area is fenced.

This is a nice pool for families and kids. There are two body water slides, two diving boards, one swim lap lane, a basic "big" pool that goes from 3-5 feet, and a really nice little kid pool with zero depth entry, small water slides and the pool goes to 3 feet. They sell a good range of concessions, and there are designated eating areas. The staff does try to keep this pool clean and safe. If your child does not meet the height requirement for the slides/diving board, but is a strong swimmer, they can take a swim test to get a wrist band to wear indicating it's ok for them to use the slides.

This place was absolutely phenomenal. Such kind and helpful staff. I felt very safe with all the lifeguards on duty and the kids area was pretty expansive compared to any competitors for hours of fun. I fully endorse anyone to purchase a season pass for the wonderful Hawthorn Woods Aquatic Center!
