What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews indicate a mix of positive experiences and areas needing improvement. Aquatic classes, particularly free ones for seniors, are highly appreciated for promoting activity and being a good use of tax dollars. The indoor pool is lauded for its beauty and the swimming experience, though locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms are cited as needing necessary updates and funding. There's a general sentiment of the park being a 'Chicago Westside treasure.' However, there was a negative note regarding the football field being under construction, leading to flag football being played on grass.

I am grateful for the opportunity partake in the aquatic class. As a senior on a fixed income, free classes are appreciated. For health reasons, I want to stay active and thanks to Chicago park district La Follette I will. Good to see our tax dollars at work.

Aesthetically beautiful indoor pool with nice people, swimming is great. Would love to see necessary updates to the locker room, showers, bathroom. The building is a great representation of early 20th century public architecture. Could definitely use some funding.

We had a great time over there. We had attended a service and that is my stepmother’s house.
