ORLAND PARK, IL – The Village of Orland Park’s Centennial Park Aquatic Center will open for the 2012 season Memorial Day Weekend, on May 26, 2012. Early bird membership rates are available until April 28, 2012.
The village’s Centennial Park Aquatics Center, open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year, includes a lazy river, body flume, drop slide, tube slides, platform jump, zero depth pool with kiddie play structures and lap lanes.
“The village’s pool is a destination of choice for residents of all ages,” said Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin. “The original pool opened during the village’s centennial year, 1992, and it’s grown to become one of the most popular water parks in the region,” the mayor added.

“A number of people enjoyed using the kayaks and pedal boats on Lake Sedgewick last year and we’re glad to bring this Centennial Park amenity back again this year,” McLaughlin said.

All residents must present two forms of identification at registration, both of which must prove residency within the corporate limits of the village. Acceptable proofs of address include driver’s licenses and current utility bills. Billing addresses must be within the corporate limits of the Village of Orland Park.
A family membership is defined as five immediate family members residing in the same household with valid proof of residency. Children two years of age and under are admitted free and do not need to be present at registration. Resident ID’s are recommended for all resident non-members in order to receive the resident daily admission rate. Passes must be retained from year to year. Once a membership is renewed, passes will be automatically activated and there is no need to come in.
