Outdoor Pools Near Opening Dates In Deerfield

DEERFIELD, IL — It's nearing outdoor pool season and things could look quite differently than they did one year ago. While a number of area pools either delayed opening in 2020 or were forced to close at times due to coronavirus outbreaks, this summer's season appears to be much more promising.

Both the Deerspring and Mitchell outdoor pools will be open this year in Deerfield.

Deerspring Pool, located at 200 Deerfield Road, is slated to open first on June 5 with a closing date of Aug. 15, according to the Deerfield Park District's website. The Deerspring Spray Ground also opens June 5.

Mitchell Pool, located at 951 Wilmot Road, opens a week later on June 12. The closing date there is set for Sept. 6.

The Phase 4 Restore Illinois Plan continues to limit group sizes for pools. Lap swim, public swim, swim lessons (at Mitchell, Deerspring and the indoor pool at Sachs Recreation Center), Coho Swim Club and a variety of aqua classes will be offered at the pools this summer, according to the Deerfield Park District.

The summer 2021 pool plan is subject to change if guidelines/restrictions change. There are no season passes for 2021. A regular pool season pass will not be sold for the 2021 pool season. Public swim will be sold in two-hour time blocks for a daily fee. Public swim will be offered at Mitchell Pool 7 days a week and at Deerspring Pool on weekends only (Saturdays and Sundays).
