Barefoot Bay open house:
The Mundelein Park & Recreation District hosts a free open house at Barefoot Bay Family Aquatic Center on Friday, May 24, from 5 to 7 p.m. Barefoot Bay is at 1461 N. Midlothian Road. All ages are invited for a “behind-the-scenes” look at the facility. Fun, free kids’ activities, refreshments, meet mascot “Leroy the Lobster”, and bring along your camera for photos. Parents and guests will have an opportunity to meet park district and lifeguard staff, and get familiar with the many activity areas. It is a dry, non-swimming event. Swimming begins May 25 when Barefoot Bay opens for Memorial Day weekend. Barefoot Bay is closed May 28 to May 31, and reopens for the season June 1.
