Humboldt Park Pool (Outdoor) - Chicago, Illinois

It's great to have this pool back open in the neighborhood! The pool is big, the slide great, the facility is secure with nice people who have to open the gate for you, and pretty clean, though the bathrooms could get cleaned a bit more frequently. My family really enjoys it.

The lifeguards are all good though a somewhat inconsistent with answers to questions and communicating rules. For example, I saw one person told they couldn't swim without proper swimwear but then saw tons of people swimming in shorts and T-shirts that weren't swimwear, I saw babies with sagging swim diapers or no swim diapers, and got conflicting info on what type of floats are allowed. There could be much better clarity and enforcement of rules.

A few pieces of feedback:
- I understand breaks, but a 15 minute break after every 45 minutes of swimming including requiring everyone to leave the pool building entirely seems strange. Consider a full hour-two before making everyone leave for 15 mins. There always seem plenty of guards to support this.
- more open swim times together weekday late afternoons/early evenings like on the weekends.
- water is constantly running in a couple showers in the women's changing area, along with a couple water fountains there. It's a waste of water, please fix that.
- Family swim isn't clear. It appears to be a parent with 3 or more kids though doesn't seem much different than open swim. Family swim should perhaps be parents and 1 or 2 little kids only.

It was nice and everything but guards were mean and it says they closed at 7 and they closed at 6 so I like it

I really had fun but my 6 year old daughter went to the slide when she got down she almost drowned of ho deep the water was I do not recommend children going there from 1-8 yr olds in that slide

I like how all the security guards are nice sometimes they'll let you run and jump into the pool

Wasn't even open when the schedule says it is. Walked 2 miles to have a good time with my family but getting there I was disappointed to see that it wasn't even open. Everything was on and running but no one there to operate the entire thing. Why have everything on if no one can enjoy it

Small family-friendly pool with lockers, showers, and a waterslide! Must be 48" to ride waterslide. Deepest part of the main pool is 5' deep. Playground and water feature outside of the pool for in between swim sessions. Not to crowded. No concessions.
