The Park District of Forest Park and the Forest Park Public Library have partnered on a new service this summer.

FPPL cardholders 18+ can check out a pool pass from the Library!

🔵 Every Tuesday, six pool passes will be available for check out. (2 are reserved for seniors 60+).
🔵 To check out, you must be 18+ with a valid Forest Park Public Library card.
🔵 Two pool passes can be checked out at once (if available).
🔵 Check outs can only be done in-person at the Library. First come, first served. Holds cannot be placed on passes.
🔵 Once a pass is checked out, you must create a Amilia account and sign a waiver to enter the pool.
