Under the Sea Family Fun Day at
Lincoln Park District
[July 14, 2026]
A cloudy, cool morning cleared
off into a perfect afternoon for a swim at the Lincoln Park District
Aquatic Center for the second Family Fun Day of the summer on
Saturday, July 11. An “Under the Sea” theme with decorations, photo
opportunities, and games kept kids and families entertained, and
Evergreen Coffee trailer was on hand with refreshing drinks.
Lifeguard Lily Block said, “It has
been a great day! It started off gloomy and we closed for thunder
for about half an hour, but it brightened up. We have a lot of new
people that we haven’t seen before. It’s been a good, busy, bright,
fun day.”
Admission to Family Fun Day is a nonperishable, non-expired item for
the Lincoln-Logan Food Pantry. Regular pool admission and pool
passes are also accepted on Family Fun Days.
Family Fun Day themes are chosen at
the end of each summer by the lifeguards who brainstorm new theme
ideas and then vote on their favorites. The top three become the
Family Fun Day themes for the following summer. Family Fun Day was
moved from Fridays to Saturdays this summer so more families could
participate.
