Pavilion Aquatic Center- Lagoon Pool

Brand new, super clean facility. I swim a lot and this is the cleanest pool water I swim in by far. All the pools are separated by glass walls so it’s pretty quiet, the lighting is indirect so it’s well lit but not overly bright

Everything is ok in this place, but expensive.
Clean, and new, too much music and always the same music, day by day.

Love this place! My kids have swim lessons here, and they can’t wait to go each week! The instructors are very friendly and patient with the kids. The class sizes are usually small, and there are LOTS of schedule options to choose from — weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays — so there’s definitely something that will work with our schedule every session. The pool and locker room areas are very clean, and there are tables and chairs around the pool for parents to sit and keep an eye on things. I would definitely recommend.

Great place for birthday parties! I’ve had a couple of birthday parties there, and the kids have an awesome time.
The price is pretty good as well.

The EGV Park District recently renovated its Aquatic Center at the Pavilion and they hosted a free Grand Opening Event on February 1^st. We’ve been long-​time residents of EGV and I grew up and took lessons in the old EGV park district programs. It’s great to be able to take my kids now and see how EGV continues to improve its programs and services within the park district.
We had my daughter’s bday party in the old aquatics center 4 years ago when it was still a great pool, but the recent remodeling and changes have made the EGV Aquatic Center one of the top aquatic centers we’ve been too. Available here are:
1) Main/​Indoor Lap Pool
2) Warm Water Therapy Pool
3) Indoor Water Slide
4) Outdoor lap pool
5) Zero-​depth kids pool with water features like fountains and a basketball net.
On Grand Opening day, we spent most of our time in the kids pool, but spent some time in the warm water therapy pool. The pools are sectioned off from each other but linked through walkways so you can easily move through between each pool.
It was a cold February day but the temp inside was nice and warm, with an occasional blast of cold air from someone coming in from outside (there is a main outdoor pool and sun deck too), and/​or near the enclosed entrance/​exit to the Fitness center. My kids had a blast… we spent about 2 hours here. They are ages 4 and 6 so the kiddie pool was perfect for them to wade in and play.
The locker and changing rooms are expansive… Men’s, Women’s, and a Family locker room. We went in both the Women’s and Family locker room and it was crowded this day but the locker rooms were maintained and clean. Bathrooms, Showers, and Dryers (clothes and hand) available.
Lifeguards on hand and were extremely attentive. Staff was welcoming, friendly, and seemed genuinely excited about the new opening.
We are looking forward to coming back in the summer to check out the outdoor pool.

We discovered this place when we were invited to a preschool child’s birthday party. Located off of Biesterfield near the Elk Grove Municipal Complex, it is also very close to Pirate’s Cove, which is on the opposite side. Elk Grove is a town that really cares about having great Parks. Rainbow Falls was a great discovery for us last year and so was this place.
The Pavilion boasts a big indoor splash pad with a little water slide suited for the 7 – 10 age group. It is very clean and well-​monitored by lifeguards. The kids get to play under a variety of sprinklers or they can swim in the 3−½ foot «deep end» of the pool.
So it came as no surprise when my son wanted to have a party there for his 5^th birthday. As a non-​resident, for $ 180, you can book the kiddie pool for a private party. This covers 15 people in the pool area — whether they go into the water does not matter. They charge per attendee. Anyone beyond the initial 15 is an extra $ 7 per person. We ended up with 21 in our party, but it was still more affordable than some of the gym parties we attended, like at a Pump It Up type of establishment. It also includes a separate party room, the biggest of which can accommodate up to 60 people.
It does seem dumb to charge for non-​swimmers but the parties are otherwise well managed. You get a party host to help you set up the party room. They have a refrigerator for any drinks, cake or ice cream. The park even has a package deal if you choose to have them provide the cake and pizza (from Papa John’s I believe). It was good when I tried it at the previous party. We didn’t do the package deal though.
Our hostess was not available when we were ready to get out the cake, but she came back when we asked for her, as she may have been doing stuff for another party. However, she helped us with the setup and post-​party cleanup, wheeling out our stuff to the car, etc.
I did not find the chlorine to be a problem either. I thought the Elk Grove park district staff was friendly in helping me book the party. This party won’t break the bank for you if you keep it moderately sized. If you’re a parent with deep pockets who insists on inviting the whole classroom, I’m not stopping you either.

I would never go back to this place. For my son’s 5^th B-​Day, I decided to do Pirate’s Cove Theme Park (AN EXCELLENT PLACE– I’ve reviewed them separately) and go to this lagoon pool afterward. The whole experience was awesome until we got to the lagoon pool. Not only is the chlorine enough to knock the wind out of you, but the manager wasn’t the brightest IMO. In addition to the kids, I had 20 adults with me (who were free at Pirate’s Cove) but $ 7.00 each at this place– this is stupid since adults can’t even swim in this pool (whole thing was about a foot deep) AND, most of them weren’t even putting on suits. I asked the manager for a break given the size of my party and the fact most of us weren’t going in the pool– nope, no break. Then about 30 minutes into it we all couldn’t take the chlorine anymore and left. No wonder we were the only ones in the place! Thumbs way down.
