Morton Grove – Oriole Park Pool

Williams Architects | Aquatics

Morton Grove, IL

The original Oriole Park Pool, constructed in 1969, had failed beyond repair, yet the Morton Grove Park District knew how important the facility was to the community.   Through the sale of $8 million in bonds, the Park District was able to honor the legacy of the original facility while providing amenities to meet the current and future needs of its patrons. The new aquatic center features an 8 lane lap pool with starting blocks and timing pads and will play host for the Park District’s Tiger Shark Swim Club.   A waterslide, spray guns, lily pad water walkway, current channel and kiddie pool provide plenty of opportunities for those just wishing to have fun and cool off on a hot summer day.   In addition to men’s and women’s locker rooms, the new Bathhouse also provides concessions and a Community Room.  The “Palm Room” is a year-round rental space available for birthdays and private events.  Since the new pool has opened, memberships have increased by over 30%.

Cost: $6.5 Million

SqFt: 500 Bather Facility
