Cypress Cove, a Woodridge Park District facility, opened its gates in 1997. The total cost of opening the park was approximately $5.9 million, and during its first partial year of operation the park saw 90,000 visitors. After a decade of service, the Park District Board voted unanimously to approve a $3.6 million expansion. This expansion included the addition of a spray park for toddlers and pre-teens, improvements to the bathhouses, and the construction of a six-lane lap pool. The proposal was overwhelmingly popular amongst Woodridge citizens, and the decision to expand Cypress Cove was made at the same time the Park District decided to close down the Hobson Pool, due to the expense of necessary renovations.

Wonderful site, although it becomes overcrowded when buses full of children from who knows where are allowed to arrive.

I had a wonderful experience. Apart than my grandson cutting his foot in the pool, everything was lovely!

It was our first visit. My two-year-old daughter and I found it to be quite enjoyable.
