Also for $5 (regardless whether a town resident or not) per person, this is a great deal! At 5 years old with a life jacket, my daughter had a great opportunity to go in the deep end starting at 7 feet to 13 feet on the pool. The 2 lifeguards were in the pool to help any swimmers for eggs or any assistance in the water. The staff to exchange the eggs for prizes were also attentive to the guests and answer any questions i have. Swimmers are allowed to collect 15 eggs total. I didnt mind my daughter wanted to leave in 15 minutes of starting this eveny because we live about 16 miles away and we were there earlier for open swim for 2 1/2 hours. Defintely Facebook picture worthy, of course not for helicopter parents. The indoor pool and restroom were a bit drafty and i may have left this facility with a cold in the works. There's a ice rink for hockey and a track upstairs to exercise and people view down below. Small parking lot. Place is kempt. Employees are friendly.

It's pretty much just a swimming pool. There is a ramp entry into the main pool which is also pretty neat for parents with babies and people with limited mobility! Very clean pool and locker rooms. There are also 2 family bathrooms/changing rooms with a shower too. We are currently taking "Starbabies" swim class at East End Pool. Check out the Elmhurst Park District catalouge. They have swim classes for all ages! Starbabies isn't really swimming...kind of more of a singing/water play class in the pool. East End Park is here too. Nice playground area and baseball diamond.

We are members of the community who pay for a pool pass each year and I'm afraid this year will be…read moreour last. Every year, the park district closes the diving well to members of the public (both pass holders and paying members of the public) so that they can make money through offering some type of swim lesson camp. My kids love to dive but are told to leave the diving area along with their friends who have paid a daily fee to swim. So not only does the park district crowd the pool with campers but now they tell paying members that they cannot use the pool they have paid to use. We have been coming to this pool over ten years and my kids have gone through lessons here (which by the way are not worth it beyond getting over fear of the water level) and each year the park district treats paying members of the general public worse and worse. Closing off more and more areas of the pool. There is no reason to pay to go to a pool that is roped off for lessons in half of it or has no diving well. Clearly they are more interested in the cash cow that the summer camps have become than offering an enjoyable swimming experience.

We went to the Forest Park Aquatic Center on Memorial Day. It was wonderful…read more We went to Brookfield Zoo first, which is about a 13 minute drive from here. The pool was open from noon-5pm (it was opening day, I don't believe those are standard hours). We bought tickets online in the morning before going, which was a good idea because there was an incredibly long and slow line to purchase tickets. It was $15 per person. They have changing rooms, including showers with soap. They have a reasonably priced concession stand (no outside food allowed). There was a gigantic pool with multiple sections, including a zero depth entry section, 2 lap lanes, a 12 foot diving pool with diving pool and 2 drop slides. 2 medium large water slides. There was also a huge splash pad including a set of little kid water slides and a water bucket that dumps water on people. The life guards were great. We had a great time!

We attended an after-hours fundraiser at the Forest Park pool tonight, the annual Duck Splash,…read morewhich benefits the local special recreation program, WSSRA. We were very impressed by all of the lifeguards tonight. They were very pleasant and attentive and kept a close watch on the action. The pool has 2 slide areas, a kids section, lap lanes, diving well, and free play space. Grassy area and lounge chairs. My teen enjoyed the concession stand- soft serve ice cream and funnel cakes! I like how they enforce the "no food on deck" and "no shoes on deck" rules. Points off as the parking is absolutely bonkers. There were other sporting events happening tonight, plus just folks in the park, so there was no available parking. We parked in the farthest lot, which seems like a full 2-3 blocks from the entrance, and with 1-way lanes it took us super long to get everyone in and out of the event. Also, the locker rooms were outdated and did not smell the best.

Very hard to accomplish when you have a baby and older children or multiple children! Good luck with that one! They do not allow goggles that cover the nose because it " promotes breath holding".....

I've lived in Westchester for a few years and first visited the pool last summer. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by the facility. I'm a big kid at heart and loved the water slide! Occasionally, they have adult-only swim for about 15 minutes. During our most recent visit, a few days ago, there wasn't the adults-only segment. We still had a great time. Residents receive about a 25% discount off admissions. Dressing rooms and showers are moderately clean. Nothing special, but you're not spending much time there anyway. If I were to visit more than twice a summer, I'd purchase the season pass.

This pool looks like most decent pools from the parking lot but, unfortunately, the closer you…read moreget the worse it gets. Mainly, a lack of respect from the teenaged workforce, within. To start, we were grilled for an ID to verify residency which we failed because I'm not accustom to carrying a wallet in my swim shorts. I'm sorry, considering only 2 hours until close and the fact I'm 45 years old might grant most folks the benefit of the doubt. Nope! We paid $21 for two hours, two adults. Well overpriced. Next, lifeguards appear to be sleeping behind chrome plated shades, oblivious to a young child bearing down on his nostrils from an apparent bloody nose, just a few feet away. I rummaged through my bag looking for a napkin to help. Music quality, OMG. So, it's one thing to be forced to listen to Country, nonstop, but quite another to listen to it through blown-out speakers from 20 years ago. Treble, treble, treble, ear-piercing, distorted, torn-speaker-treble. I feel like my ears have suffered irreparable damage, not exaggerating. Finally, large wasps flying in-and-out of the deck, aside us, either building a nest or looking to build a nest. Big guys, these wasps! So, perhaps consider another pool, my friends.

I would strongly caution anyone considering Happy Pools and Spa…read more On August 7, 2025, I paid $4,050.30 toward the purchase of a 24-foot above-ground pool and installation. According to the invoice, the remaining labor balance was not due until the installation was completed. After taking my money, the owner, Genaro Cruz, repeatedly told me through text messages that he had my pool and that he would be coming to install it. Over the following months, I received numerous promises with scheduled installation dates, but each time he either failed to show up or canceled at the last minute. Eventually, he stopped responding to my calls and text messages altogether. As of today, nearly a year later: No pool has been delivered. No installation has been completed. No refund has been provided. I have kept the invoice, proof of payment, and extensive text message history documenting the repeated promises and missed appointments. I gave this company every opportunity to make things right before posting this review, but after months of excuses and being completely ignored, I feel other homeowners should be aware of my experience. I am now pursuing legal remedies to recover my money. If you are considering hiring Happy Pools and Spa, I encourage you to do your own research and proceed with extreme caution.
