Pass ID Card
A photo identification system is used for pool season passes. If you purchased a pool pass in prior years and still have your pass, simply mail/fax/drop off your pool pass registration form. Your card will be activated in the computer system. If you do not have your 2011 pool pass, please come to the Jewett Park Community Center registration office to get your photo taken during normal business hours (M-F, 9 am - 4:30 pm & Sat 9 - 11:30). Passes are only valid for the person(s) to whom the pass was issued.
Look Up Fee
Every patron entering the facility must show a valid pool pass ID card or pay the daily admission fee. If, for any reason, a patron does not have their pool pass ID card, a "look up fee" of $3 per person (maximum of 4 per family) will be charged. The purpose of this fee is to encourage patrons to carry their pass and to minimize inconveniences for other patrons waiting in line. As a courtesy, cashiers will not charge the look up fee until after June 19. After June 19, patrons may not enter Deerspring or Mitchell Pool without showing their pool pass ID card or paying the daily fee. There will be no exceptions. Patrons having any questions about this policy should address their concerns with the manager on duty (not the cashier) or contact Jon Beckmann at 847-572-2621 during office business hours.

End of Summer Schedule - Deerspring Pool
Because the outdoor pools are staffed mostly by students, in mid-August we close one pool and move staff to the other for the remainder of the season. The closing schedule rotates annually; for 2013 Mitchell pool will be closed after August 11 and Deerspring will remain open through September 2.
