Rehm Pool — Local services in Oak Park

Experience was great. Lifeguards were super attentive and charismatic. There was something for all ages. A small pool for the little ones, a mini waterpark with two tiny playground-style slides and a big bucket that poured water over you for those "big kids" (around 5-8 year-olds, although anyone can use it,) an area for the older kids (or those adults who wanna join in the fun) with two slides that dropped you into the water, a rock climbing wall over the water, and a diving board, and then of course there is the big main pool, that goes from about 4' to 5'. There is a concessions stand that sells some snacks (pretzels, hotdogs, churros, etc.) but it is closed frequently, so I recommend you bring your own snacks and water.

My brothers are slightly younger than that, but they can be trusted on their own! They're not little kids! Overall, this pool is nice and reliable; however, there is room for...

This pool is way better than Ridgeland Commons and has more options for my sisters and I. Recently they have created this bogus rule for kids. My sisters are younger than the required age, which makes it difficult enjoy their summer. One time they walked to the pool and were refused access. I know from growing up, that parents have jobs and can't constantly be with their children . The child shouldn't be punish for not having a stay at home parent 24/7. Children should be able to enter the pool without all the hoops to jump through first. The pool shouldn't only be a place for those with stay at home parents. It should also be a place for those who don't have that stay at home parent. Please don't stop children from having...
