Outdoor pools close for the season Aug. 19 and Sept. 3
Enjoy some late-summer splashing at Schaumburg Park District's outdoor pools before they close for the season.
Atcher Island, 730 S. Springinsguth Road, and Meineke Pool, 220 E. Weathersfield Way, will close Aug. 19. Atcher Island is a tropical-themed water park featuring water slides, a sprayground and a concessions area. Meineke Pool features a 50-meter Olympic pool, separate diving well, water playground and swim lessons.
Bock Pool, 1223 W. Sharon Lane, will close Sept. 3. Bock offers a wading pool, diving area and a 9-foot climbing wall.
Underwater adventures continue year-round at The Water Works, 505 N. Springinsguth Road, set to reopen with fall hours Aug. 27. The indoor water park features three waterslides, a rapid water channel, playground, diving pool, beach-like entry pool and a whirlpool. Swim lessons and party rentals also are offered.
"Pool fun doesn't have to end when summer does," said Heather Hagstrom, aquatic supervisor. "Off-season months are a great time to take advantage of swimming lessons Schaumburg Park District offers."
