Warm Water Therapy Pool, locker rooms, and staff is what this review is for. When I came here for…read moretherapy most of the time I was in the pool with just my therapist but occasionally their was another session going on. The water temperature for therapy sessions is warmer than that, of open warm water pool times. However that not to say the water is cold, it is warm. Check in with lifeguards behind desk. There are lockers just outside the pool area with 2 changing rooms/showers and 1 bathroom or you can use the larger locker room. In there they have a swimsuit spinner, I don't know the proper name but, it helps dries your bathing suit. Lock up your stuff head back through the maze of doors. The warm water pool has a chair lift should you need that but, most people just use the stairs with the rails to walk in. The shallow end has a bench so you can work on sit to stand exercises. The floor of the pool seems gritty in some areas. Sometimes there's something on the bottom of the floor I don't think they vacuum the pool on a daily basis or even weekly, but I don't know. The deep end is 6 ft deep. You can use a pool noodle to just let your body hang and feel weightlessness. Then continue to exercise. The staff are friendly but not overly, the lifeguards are not allowed to talk to you. The noise level in the room when other people are talking and or talking over each other can be quite loud there's no sound bumper. So it's can be very loud which is not something I really want when I come for therapy. When you come you would probably want to bring your own in noodle because you're not allowed to use any of the physical therapy things that you might have used when you were there. Still a great place and I encourage you to go.

The concessions always seemed reasonably priced to me, but that might just be my stomach talking after teaching 4 consecutive swim lessons. The front desk staff (generally) is quite friendly too!

One…read moreis a pool with a couple water slides, and there's another large pool that's much more calm. Then there's the wading pool, which is nice. I didn't realize at first which was the wading pool and I thought that the pool with the slides was it--I was wrong. The wading pool is between the other two, and is enclosed separately from the others. It's a significantly larger wading pool than at South Park, and with more features--there's a slide here too, but also a couple other water play structures. One of the parents of my child's classmate said that the pool sometimes reaches capacity, so it's good that they don't just let as many people in as will pay. It can be difficult to find a place to sit--the chairs can go quickly, so I wandered around a bit until a seat became available. There's a concession stand here, as well as some bathrooms and a family changing area. There appeared to be some showers as well, which the splash pad and wading pool in town doesn't have. I don't like that every hour they make people under age 18 get out of the pool for 10-15 minutes, regardless of that apparently being an industry standard practice. My daughter doesn't like it either--she was very very upset about having to leave the pool a couple times whilst we were here. And one of the lifeguards didn't even seem to know what they were doing; when we heard that announcement, most of the folks got out of the splash pad but there were still a few in it and so I asked the lifeguard thinking it may have been just for the large pool and she said "yeah, I think it's for this one too". We will be back, I'm sure. Our pool pass gives us a marginally earlier entrance time than the general public (fifteen minutes or so) so maybe we'll take advantage of that, or of their longer hours since they're open until 8 most days. Truth be told, I like the other splash pad and wading pool better. This one may grow on me, and assuming we're still here in the coming years as my daughter ages out of the splash pads I'll have to come here because this is the "fun pool". But I prefer the vibe at the (much less crowded) other pools.

We've had very few hot days this summer, but when we're lucky enough to have one we head to the…read morepool. There are so many pools in the North Shore to choose from and this is where my fam most recently chose to cool off. When we first arrived the main pool was closed for swimming lessons so we made our way to the toddler play area, which is basically a park and sprayer in the middle of very shallow water. I was about to make myself comfortable on a lounge chair when an announcement was made that the main pool was open to the public (around 11am on a Saturday). My 4 yr old dragged my husband over, which meant I had to go too since my 2 year old insists on doing everything that his big sister does. Sigh. The water was absolutely freezing and no area was shallow enough for my kids to stand. More work for me, but (of course) the kids had a blast. I personally prefer Hidden Creek in Highland Park for swimming while my kids are young and not swimming perfectly on their own. The main pool has both shallow and deep ends so one of us can hang w/ my 4 yr old in the deeper water, while the other can hang w/ my 2 yr old in the shallow water...and he's perfectly content being in the same pool as his sister. The water slide in the shallow end is also a big draw for both my kids (and many others) at Hidden Creek. However, as my kids get older I could see myself loving Meadowhill as much as my kids did. There's also an additional side with a very impressive water slide and diving boards as the kids grow. Also worth noting that Glencoe residents pay Northbrook prices here making it one of the more affordable pools in the North Shore for my fam

The large main pool is divided into areas for family use, lap swimming, and adults. There is a separate, well equipped "kiddie" pool for children, a diving pool, and two water slides with a splash down pool. One slide is for use with a flotation device and the other is for use without. There is a refreshment stand that is open during certain hours, and vending machines for use at other times, You can't bring food into the pool area; you must eat in the designated eating area, which is very nice. There are nice areas around the pool for relaxing on the deck chairs. In recent years, Meadowhill pool has been expertly maintained and kept beautifully clean. They have certain hours for lap swimming. The hours change from time to time, so it is important to check with the front desk for up to date information. They generally keep one or two lanes open during the afternoon "rush hour" when the rest of the pool is in use for swimming lessons. Aesthetically, Meadowhill Aquatic Center is one of the nicest outdoor pools I have ever seen. It is landscaped beautifully with native plants along the south side of the pool next to the family picnic area, which can be rented for parties and other events. A couple of times each summer the Park District sponsors a special night at the pool. Usually they will have a DJ, refreshments, games, and prizes. Signs for these activities are posted in advance. The only issue I've run into is weather, which affects all outdoor facilities. They make everyone leave the pool area at the first indication of an approaching storm, so be prepared if you come on a cloudy day.

The lifeguards are phenomenal. They are everywhere, constantly scanning the water and the surrounding areas. I saw them pull three kids out of the water in a matter of two hours...one of them who turned out to only be "pretending" to be in trouble. The cons: As we are not residents, when we arrived we had to pay. No biggie. However, at that that time the register was not accepting credit cards. An amazingly rude staff person Igor/Egor was a complete jerk and told me that I had to leave and go to the ATM and come back with cash...after my kid and I waited for like 20 minutes. I offered to come back later in the afternoon, and even offered to leave my driver's licence so they knew I was good for it, but this sanctimonious and self-righteous pool brat was just hostile. Luckily a much nicer young man, whose name i didn't catch, let me go through and when the cc machine started to work found me in the pool area so I could go and pay. Great park! Great staff! Bad Igor/Egor!
