Pool Update

This past July, we announced that extensive repairs to the pool liner, covered under our warranty, would be taking place. We’re pleased to share that RenoSys has honored their commitment and is now replacing the entire pool liner as part of this project.

The liner replacement is currently in progress, and you’ll notice work being done at the pool site. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these important improvements. Please pardon any inconvenience as we complete this upgrade over the coming weeks.

Thank you!

There are public bathrooms at both Cullinan and City Park that are open during park hours from May through mid-October. Update - The public bathrooms are now closed for the winter season.

City Park Bathrooms are located on the backside of the Pool concessions building on Sampson Street between the ballpark outfield and the pool. They can be accessed by walking from the main park shelters through the Veterans Memorial and along the fence line of the pool and outfield or by using the sidewalk that runs the length of the park on Sampson Street.

Cullinan Park Bathrooms are located on the backside of the building in the parking lot.

We wish to thank those individuals who have participated in various service projects, upgrades, and/or repairs for the Tremont Park District properties. Thank you for your service. We appreciate you!

Individuals are listed in no particular order and updated periodically.

● RESTRICTIONS: Ice-fishing is allowed on a FISH AT YOUR OWN RISK basis. Ice conditions are not monitored by the Park District. Ice fishermen should check ice thickness before going out on any frozen body of water. A minimum of four inches of solid ice over the entire lake is recommended before individuals attempt ice fishing.

● EQUIPMENT LIMITS / REQUIREMENTS: POLE AND LINE FISHING ONLY: No other fishing devices are permitted. The ice angler may use a maximum of two poles or tip-ups with no more than two hooks on each line. All poles and tip-ups shall be constantly attended and kept under observation by the angler.

PLEASE REMEMBER…

Ice may be safe in one spot, yet very thin only a few feet away. Currents, underwater springs, animal activity (beavers) or runoff from local roads and watersheds can all create hard-to-detect areas of thin ice. Remember, for your own safety, no ice should be considered totally safe. Using a little common sense can help you avoid a lot of problems
