Rehm Pool is a great community pool with lots of options for kids and adults. It features four main areas: a wading pool for babies and toddlers, a soft surface play area with water features, a diving well with unique drop slides, a climbing wall, and diving boards, and a large zero-depth pool with a splash pad and small slide. There is a separate deep end pool for the diving board and slides.
Overall, it is considered the best pool in the Chicago land area, awesome and fun for all ages. The locker rooms are clean and there is lots of deck space. A summer pool pass covering two facilities is seen as a pretty good deal, with daily admission at $10 per person.
Some drawbacks include that the water temperature in the showers is not adjustable and is frequently too hot. Parking is a hassle, with never enough spaces, sometimes causing lines. The food stand is closed, leaving only vending machines, though outside snacks and water are allowed. The policy on flotation devices is strict, allowing only water wings on infants during general hours, which some find strange.
Oak Park icon beginning to approach the fun and organization of forest Park, the gold standard. Lifeguards are impressive for safety alertness. Family fun, safe
