Portage Park Pool (Outdoor) 4100 North Long Avenue, Chicago, IL 60641

"Beautiful outdoor pool with 50m lap pool, diving well, and play area. I only wish that it opened up earlier in the summer and that it had longer hours, especially for lap swimming."

"Love this place. Beautiful pool up to 6 inches, I wish they did more open swims as they switch every hour they have parking the playground is in the proximity of the park they have a field house, I also did a small party here before and as respect for the park pick up after your self and your guest. Beautiful place to bring your family in this decent neighborhood. Love this park and my daughters do too"

"Nice main pool, max depth less than 6', but issues with changing areas. Temperature of water can be chilly at times. Stone age bathrooms and showers. Besides an outdoor bench, no place to sit and change at Mens. Women's has one handicap stall to sit and change. Lockers are available just bring your own lock. NO BAGS allowed on pool deck. You will be asked to leave your things elsewhere. Towels, hats, water bottles, (no pool toys) except dumbbells and flip flops/water shoes allowed. Entry Gates monitored at all times. Note: multiple diving boards and dive platforms available in adjoining deep 10' pool."

"Tried going twice today. Got turned away the first time and told to come back hours later for, family swim time. Returned at family swim to be told I cannot keep my toddlers travel bag in the fenced pool area. Where do I keep his water? My phone? Do I have to drag a toddler away from the fun pool every time we need something? Makes taking a toddler to a pool nearly impossible."

"I've been there twice this season and a lot has changed. Due to Covid they are restricting capacity. 100 people are allowed in the main pool and 30 people are allowed in the baby pool. The diving pool has water in it but it hasn't been open on either of my visits. They call a rest break every hour and everyone must get out and get in line again if they want to keep on swimming. There is always a long line. It's still free and you don't need to show an ID. The 18+ sunbathing deck is closed off and all lounge chairs have been removed. Lounging is strongly discouraged in order to allow more patrons into the pool. Bags are allowed and they aren't spraying you down with a hose when you enter like they did a few years ago. They have lockers on site so bring a lock if you are concerned about your valuables."
