Park Forest Community Swimming Pool
2008 Picnic Pavilion Rental

PLEASE NOTE: Park Forest Pool closed for the season at 8PM on Sunday, August 3, 2008, to start construction of a new facility at that site - so the pavilion will not be available until the new facility opens in 2009. Reservations for Summer 2009 will be accepted starting on 2 Jan 09.

Pavilion Accommodations:
• 16' x 34' under roof, with 8 picnic tables inside: capacity of 64 visitors.

• In the interest of safety, pavilion reservation requests will be accepted pending the schedule of group admissions.

•Daily admission, Group Admissions, and season pass payments are not eligible for refunds, pro-rating, or credits.

•Daily admission entrants are eligible for same-day re-admission if a hand stamp is obtained prior to exiting

For safety reasons, during General Swims all youth age 10 and under must be accompanied by a Responsible Adult (age 16 and over). 

• The pavilion may be used by groups who have registered for a "Birthday Party Table Rental" provided that the pavilion has not been previously reserved by another group.
