Dear Hanover Park Community,
Due to an ongoing mechanical issue at the Seafari Springs Aquatic Center, the facility opening will be delayed until further notice. Our previous announcement regarding the Tuesday, June 9 opening and Saturday, June 13 grand opening celebration will be postponed while repairs are completed. We are working diligently to complete the necessary repairs as quickly as possible and will share updates as soon as they become available. We understand many families were looking forward to the start of the season, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The safety of our guests and staff remains our highest priority, and we are committed to ensuring the facility is fully prepared before opening.
To support our community and season passholders during this delay, the Hanover Park Park District will provide the following:
• Bartlett Aquatic Center will accept the 2026 Seafari
Springs Season Passholders with their Seafari Springs
Season Pass while repairs are being completed.
• Daily admission will be 50% off on the first Saturday
Seafari Springs reopens.
• Current 2026 season passholders will receive a special
discount on their 2027 season pass renewal.
• Current 2026 season passholders will also receive free
guest passes.
If you have questions, please contact Jim Huetson, Superintendent of Recreation & Special Facilities, or Steve Bessette, Executive Director, at (630) 837-2468.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of the Hanover Park Park District.
