Water Parks
No Pool Passes will be sold in 2021.
For aquatics enthusiasts, the park district offers two outdoor summer pools. The Skokie Water Playground features five giant slides, a sprayground, an interactive multi-level play area, lap lanes, locker rooms with showers, and a concession stand. The Devonshire Aquatic Center features a lap pool with zero-depth entry, a diving board, a drop slide, a sprayground, locker rooms and shower facilities, a sun hill, and a concession stand. Multi-use pool passes are available for both pools.
Group Swim Lessons
Group swim lessons are back! Learning to swim is an essential lifelong skill that provides basic safety around water and promotes a healthy lifestyle for years to come. Group lessons are perfect for children 4 years and up. Classes will be held at the outdoor pools this season. Group class sizes will be reduced to follow safety guidelines.
Two-week class sessions will be held daily Monday - Thursday at the Devonshire Aquatic Center between 5:15pm – 7:15pm. Eight weekly classes will be held at Skokie Water Playground on Saturday and Sunday between 8:45am – 9:50am.
Private Swim Lessons
Private instruction is available for those who do not wish to enroll in group lessons. “Private” lessons offer one-on-one instruction, while “Semi-Private” lessons allow two students to learn at the same time – perfect for friends or siblings. Our lessons are perfect for all ages and abilities. These pay-as-you-go lessons are available from June 10 through August 15, are held at either of our outdoor pools, and are subject to instructor availability.
Fees, per half hour:
