I've taken the fam to a few different swimming pools in Chicago and throughout the northern and northwestern suburbs. We've been to some nicer and much larger pools, but they're all much more expensive and overcrowded. The Heritage Park pool is very clean and feels safe/well supervised with attentive, focused lifeguards and has a modern design with impressive features -- zero/beach entry side, diving boards, lap pool area for adults, sprinkler park/sprinkler features in the shallow/kids' section. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of available seats and space to spread out and drop off towels and shoes. The water was warm and felt great, even visiting on an overcast day. The locker rooms are huge, and have a large shower area, separate bathroom area and tons of free lockers -- you just have to bring your own lock if you want to use one. The seating areas feature several oversized umbrellas that create lots of great shady areas, and the best part -- it wasn't overcrowded, there were only a handful of other families there. Really nice facility, great pool, highly recommended. We'll be back! read more
