Clarendon Hills, Park Forest, St. Charles, Wheaton and Palos
Heights have all recently joined a list of towns that will be
opening up public pools to residents.
Palos Heights Park District spokesperson Linda Bauer says even
though the pool will be open, they are “waiting for more
information regarding how many people will be allowed per
session.”
Residents will have to make reservations for a two-hour time
slot for pool use, Bauer said that last year up to 50 people
were allowed per session. She said officials hope more people
will be allowed this summer.
Swim lessons and workouts will also be back for the Palos
Heights Park District. Other municipal pools are offering
similar programming and reservation schedules. The park district
is not doing pool memberships this season, but Bauer says it
will hopefully lead to more drop-in pool users and a sense of
normalcy for the residents.
Pools will be opening up across the state starting in June with
COVID-19 restrictions including reservations that need to be
made a week in advance in some places. Pools re-opening in their
communities is part of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Phase 4 Mitigation
Plan.
