Lake Bluff Pool at Blair Park continued

Crossing Guard

A crossing guard is provided by the Village of Lake Bluff at the intersection of Green Bay Rd. and Rockland Rd. (Route 176). Children in swimming lessons, public lessons and camp programs at Blair and Artesian Parks will be helped across the street. Please notify the Village of Lake Bluff at 847-234-2151 if there is any concern or problem.

Weather Closing Procedure

Park District policy states if lightning and thunder is seen or heard, the pool deck and locker rooms will be evacuated immediately. Patrons will not be permitted to use the showers. Evacuation and reentry decisions are at the sole discretion of Lake Bluff Pool staff. Patrons will be permitted to reenter once the all-clear has been made by Thor Guard weather system. Patrons are encouraged to stay in the hallway and, if available, the community room until the all-clear is given. Reentry passes will be issued in the event of a closing if there is more than an hour remaining in the published open swim hours. In the event severe weather persists until 6:00 pm, the Lake Bluff Pool may be closed for the evening.
