The St. Charles Park District recognizes the community’s desire for aquatic recreation during the summer months, however, the health and safety of residents and patrons is the District’s first priority. Given the lack of guidance in Phase 3 of the governor’s Restore Illinois Plan, the District recently made the difficult decision to keep Otter Cove Aquatic Park closed for the summer.
Our ability to open Otter Cove Splash Park and/or Swanson Pool later this summer will be dependent on additional guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO). Park District staff will continue to monitor information released from IDPH and DCEO on a daily basis.
