About
Parkholme Pool is a seasonal outdoor public swimming facility located in Cicero, Illinois, operated by the Town of Cicero. It provides a community-focused environment for recreational swimming, lap swimming, and swimming lessons during the summer months, typically from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Specific, consistently advertised pool temperatures for Parkholme Pool are not readily available. As a seasonal outdoor facility, the water temperature typically fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is not usually actively heated to a fixed degree.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is generally appreciated for its reasonable price, allowing same-day re-entry, and providing a good option to stay cool, often without being overly crowded. However, there are notable criticisms, particularly concerning the lifeguards. While some reviewers found them effective, others reported unprofessional behavior, including talking about students, lacking respect, and being distracted by playing or competing amongst themselves instead of monitoring patrons, leading to safety concerns. Additional issues include the pool's depth being unsuitable for very small children unless they can swim, a report of the water smelling of urine, empty soap dispensers in the women's bathroom, and limited staff-only parking that necessitates street parking, which could be challenging on busier days.

There are lifeguards all around the pool. They did their job fine. However I would still not recommend bringing very small children since the pool is a bit deep unless they know how to float and swim. The price is reasonable and the pool looked clean.

Great pool. The guards do their best at the job, and they're usually always on top of things to make sure nothing happens.

Went to swimming classes there very nice but my complaints are the lifeguards talk about the students in front of them which is unprofessional plus they have no respect

For the most part the pool was not crowded. However, there's room for improvement. The women's bathroom soap dispensers were empty. The lifeguards spent the majority of the time playing amongst themselves instead of monitoring people inside the pool. I witnessed a minor whom did not have any experience swinging near the 4 foot end struggling to hold on to the edge. I assisted minor to a safe side. The staff was obiblious and no parents within proximity. At around 4 pm, most lifeguards gathered around diving board and begin competing with one another. The lifeguards assigned to their post, were all paying attention to the competition rather than monitoring patrons. Luckily, it wasn't crowded and no incidents occurred. Pool water smells a bit like urine and I didn't get a chlorine smell at all. I attempted to park in the small parking lot, but I was informed by an employee that the area was only for staff and asked me to park in the street. Parking was manageable,but I for see an issue during busier days/times. Despite the above, I was able to stay cool on a hot August summer day.
