The Chicago Park District is planning to open 37 indoor and outdoor pools across the city, but will limit access to four small beach areas.
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Park District announced Tuesday it is planning to open 37 indoor and outdoor pools across the city by July 5.
The district said in a press release it has only secured 55% of the targeted number of lifeguards, so they are limiting access to some beach areas to redeploy lifeguards. Access will be limited to small, underutilized portions of North Avenue Beach and Calumet Beach to divert lifeguards to neighborhood pools. In addition, due to ongoing construction, swimming at 12th Street Beach will be prohibited.
The district will open four larger pools at Portage Park, Humboldt Park, McKinley Park and Norwood Park to accommodate more visitors. The remaining pools will be small to mid-size pools to ensure equitable access across the city, the district said in a release.Full list of Chicago Park District Pools opening by July 5-Avalon Park, 1215 E. 83rd St. in the Avalon community-Blackhawk Park, 2318 N.
