HUMBOLDT PARK — Chicago's only inland beach opened earlier this month to the public at Humboldt Park, and now park patrons can also plan their family trip the pool.
The Chicago Park District has posted a day-by-day, hourly schedule of events and specific swim times at Humboldt Park Pool, 958 N. Sacramento Ave. The 25-meter, six-lane outdoor pool features a water slide and a lift for the disabled.
The pool ranges from 4 to 10 feet deep and is open from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. daily. It covers 219 total acres, and includes the field house and fitness center, two gymnasiums, meeting rooms and a lagoon. A former lagoon itself, the beach is drained and refilled each year during summer months.
Additional features of the park, named for Alexander Von Humboldt, a German naturalist and geographer, include an artificial turf soccer field, junior soccer field, a replica of Wrigley Field (“Little Cubs Field") and the Puerto Rican Arts and Culture Museum. There are also baseball fields, tennis courts and playgrounds.
