What’s New at Lions Club Pool?
Every year the park district thoroughly inspects the pool facility and water slide, making any necessary repairs and improvements. In addition to this annual maintenance and to best accommodate our swimmers this year, the park district has:
• Marked five lap lanes in the main pool to accommodate lap swimmers.
• Created two Sand Play Areas: one for preschoolers, featuring two sand diggers and a spring “ride-on” toy; and another for older children, featuring a new play structure. The play structure purchase and installation has been made possible by a generous donation from the H-F Lions Club. Look for the new playground equipment in late June.
• Purchased a new ADA-accessible pool lift with funding from the H-F Lions Club.
• Transformed the underutilized sand volleyball court into a landscaped area for sunbathers and picnic fans.
• Installed an additional umbrella on the Adult Pool Deck, providing extra shade for our adult patrons.
• Brought in more deck chairs for extra seating.
• Added lockers near both locker rooms for more daily storage of patrons’ belongings.
• Placed more picnic tables in the concession area, providing more seating on the concession patio.
• Installed three upgraded safety gates along the perimeter of the Tot Pool
• Repainted the locker rooms, plus installed new mirrors, more energy-efficient lighting and sanitary, easy-to-clean floor mats.
• Spruced up the benches, landscaping, signage and fencing around the pool property.
New Sand Playground at
Lions Club Pool
Thank you to the Homewood-Flossmoor Lions Club for their generous $25,000 donation to Lions Club Pool! The donation was used to purchase and install a new sand playground to enhance the facility for kids, a transportable ADA-accessible lift so all abilities can safely enjoy the pool and new pool signage to help better identify the pool. The pool was sold by the Lions Club to the park district in 1975.
