PROS: The pool and facilities are clean. There are a lot of…read morelifeguards on duty. There are plenty of lounge chairs around the pool. The season pass pricing is reasonable. The front desk checks your bags to make sure there are no improper items. Unopened bottles of nonalcoholic drinks are allowed. This is good for the protection of children and weirdos coming into the pool area. CONS: There should be real food served in the vending area. This is a major turn off as a mom. The ice cream vending machine should also 1) work, and 2) be stocked. This is, afterall, summer.

My friend Tara had a private birthday party here for her kid. It's not a giant pool but it was…read morecertainly big enough for us. There's a slide, a diving board, and a shallow little kid spot with water spouts for the wee ones to play. Besides the fact that it's super fun to have a pool filled only with people you know, it's even better when the lifeguards rock. The staff was so much fun. My friend's husband and I were having a very ridiculous diving board competition (more like who-could-land-the-worst competition) and the guards were all about joining in our laughter. They also shot water guns with the kids when they were off rotation. I'd like to give a giant shout-out to the staff. You people were perfection. Well done.

We were visiting from California and checked this place out with our family who lives close to it…read more It was so much fun! The slides were great. Splash pad amazing. And the pool was so nice it was cushiony on the bottom. Deepest is about 5 feet.

The staff is very cordial, and the redesigned facility is a big improvement from last year. The…read moremembership fee for residents is very reasonable. I have a big issue with patrons using their phones while on the equipment. I don't want to spend two hours working out because I have to constantly wait for machines occupied by scrollers. Another issue I have is that patrons leave their bag by machines and go talk to their friends, get water whatever. When you try to use the vacant machine, they come back and say they have two more sets. This drives me nuts. The gym is too crowed this. Another patron was slamming the weights constantly. Overall, I do like the facility and the staff but these issues are getting worse. If they can post big signs discouraging machine phone use, equipment slamming and equipment hogging that may be helpful.

I've been here a few times for my son's swim meets. My review is of their pool and related…read moreamenities. We've enjoyed each trip here, which is an hour away for us. The pool is large and accommodates upwards of a dozen swim teams at one time. The area gets pretty loud, and in our experience, very crowded due to the limited seating area for a larger event. They do have a small area where you can bring your own folded chair and watch, instead of the bleachers. Just know that people can and will stand in front of you at times to watch their son swim. All in all, we have enjoyed coming here. They have a small coffee/bakery in the lobby that comes in handy. Washrooms are easily accessible adjacent to the pool.

There's a place for childcare while you work out. Everything is always clean. Pelican Harbor is pretty nice, too. The Lazy River is fun. Not very deep, so if you happen to slip out of your tube, you might scrape your knees. The water slide is fun! The pool has a section for novice and advanced swimmers. The indoor pool has a section for children and a deep end/lap swim area for adults. Very nice facility. We will be back.

Decent size room and plenty of tables and chairs to set up a good time. i was there for a baby shower not mine, just being a good friend to the father to be, he begged and now he owes. They had about 50 guests and it was comfortable. The pool area is nice, warning lots of kids. they do have a kiddie pool, sports pool, lap and regular pool for all. Nice place not sure what the homeowners pay yearly for it but it is a place to gather and meet your neighbors. Benefits of parties to go along.

This review is for the soccer department. After watching my 7 year old play 2 games I noticed she…read morewasnt getting very much game time. I complained as it was basically statically impossible to play as little as she did compared to the other kids especially the coaches daughter. They had 10 people with 7 positions yet somehow my kid sat the bench at the start of every quarter and played less than 50% of the game. All while the coaches daughter played the whole game. I confronted him about it and that guy actually told me that he doesnt believe in fair play and that because his kid puts more effort into practice that she deserves to play more then everyone else. I know hes a volunteer but these are 7 year olds that are in first and second grade. The director of the soccer department did nothing about this coach. Everyone develops differently but that is far to young to punish a kid for not knowing how to play the game perfectly. Bottom line, Hopefully your lucky and you dont get a coach like this, or you get lucky and the coach doesnt single out your child in a method of social bullying. Because, the Channahon Park District will do nothing to help you in this situation. That Coach shouldnt ever be allowed to coach anyone less then 4th grade. That Coach is going to be the reason why so many young kids turn away from soccer.

If you are looking for group fitness classes in the Channahon-Minooka area, the Channahon Park…read moreDistrict has some really good offerings. I take the cardio strength and kickbox strength with Annmarie. All workout classes are good for any fitness level. Most classes are only $5 for the drop-in rate. Most people sign up for the yearly fitness package, but the drop-in rate fits really nicely with my busy schedule. Definitely lost some pounds and toned-up a bit in the two months of dropping in and taking Annmarie's classes. Good luck and happy workouts.

Honestly, I don't know why more families in Bolingbrook AND the surrounding suburbs don't go to…read moreBolingbrook Park District for their swim lessons! Not only is Pelican Harbor indoor water park humongous and perfect for all levels of swimming, staff is incredibly friendly and prices are beyond reasonable!!! Even if you're not a Bolingbrook resident, if you sign up early enough, you can get 6-8 swimming lesson sessions for about $8 per lesson. I currently have both my children in Parkie's Starfish Swim School (ages 3-8) and each lesson is 40 minutes long. At private swim schools (Bear Paddle, Goldfish, British Swim School), lessons for that age group are 30 minutes long and almost 3 times as much per lesson! One thing to keep in mind are that many of the instructor are VERY young (probably high school-early college age). One of my kids is a newly minted 3 year old and doesn't listen very well at times (my kid just wants to play around in the water). I think the teacher had a hard time instructing in the beginning, but she doesn't give up and spoke to me about methods to "speed up" the progression as well as boundaries I may have. I appreciated that because I can only imagine how hard it is to teach young children who would rather play than learn. Parkie's Starfish Swim School has several levels starting from White (never having a swim lesson before) and ending in Green (able to swim on side, can freestyle 30 feet with rhythmic breathing). Levels Red-Yellow-Blue are in between. After mastering green, they can move to Parkie's Starfish Stroke School, perfecting all the strokes with longer distances as well as flips and open turns. They also have Parkie's Babies Swim Lesson for babies (ages 3-36 months). Overall I highly recommend Bolingbrook Park District for swim lessons. It's extremely affordable, the indoor swimming facility is very impressive and staff is so nice. I love that I can bring my kids here year-round instead of just summers. I know I'll continue bringing my kids here for years to come!

I have been doing this since last year, then one of the personnel walked up to me last month after their class whiles practicing and asked if I was a member which I answered no. She then said, you can stay if you are a member but if not then get out". I got my kids ready after we were done then asked her what was their policy for after class, she said, you are able to stay till 15 minutes after the swimming class. I called the manager of the place and reported this incidence. Will I take my kids back there? NO!!! Staff should have the respect for people who patronize them and not disrespect them.The staff should have explained their policy because this same staff if there every day I take my kids to this place. She was out right rude and disrespectful! They just lost two customers.
