Roosevelt Pool was built in 1940 and was one of only a few round pools in existence with zero-depth entry and the “deep end” in the center. In 2005 Glenview spent $6.5 million on major renovations to the historic facility, as well as additions to the existing bathhouse structure.
The pool's original bathhouse is a beautiful stone building with a fireplace and open-beamed ceiling. It was kept as part of the renovation, but received some upgrades, including a 680-square-foot addition. The remodel also incorporated new family-style changing rooms, which are becoming more popular at family-oriented facilities nationwide.
I spent many hours here when my children were young and plan to bring the grandkids here soon. Have fun!
