Avengers Family Fun Day at Lincoln Park District

[August 14, 2026]    

A hot, sunny day was the perfect atmosphere for a swim at the Lincoln Park District Aquatic Center for its final Family Fun Day of the summer on Saturday, August 8. An “Avengers” theme with decorations, photo opportunities, and games kept kids and families entertained.

Lifeguard and event organizer Mattea McFadden said, “This is the best weather we have had for a Family Fun Day so far! We have had a pretty good turn out. We have a photo wall and games on the water slide.”

Admission to Avengers Family Fun Day was a nonperishable, non-expired item for the Lincoln-Logan Food Pantry. Regular pool admission and pool passes are also accepted on Family Fun Days. Family Fun Day was moved from Fridays the last several summers to Saturdays this summer so more families could participate.

Family Fun Day themes are chosen at the end of each summer by the lifeguards who brainstorm new theme ideas and then vote on their favorites. The top three become the Family Fun Day themes for the following summer. McFadden is polling the current lifeguard staff this month for next summer’s Family Fun Day themes.
