Evanston’s swimming beaches will open for the season on Saturday, the city announced in a Tuesday news release.
The city offers free seasonal beach passes to all Evanston households with proof of residency in zip codes 60201 and 60202.
To acquire a pass, residents can visit Robert Crown Community Center, Levy Senior Center, Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center, Chandler-Newberger Community Center, Prieto Community Center and the Dempster Street Beach Office during standard business hours, the release said.
Last month, the city announced that families who do not live in Evanston but have children enrolled in Evanston/Skokie School District 65 and at Evanston Township High School are also eligible for free passes for the first time this year.
Skokie residents can purchase passes at a discounted rate. Daily beach passes cost $10 per person for Skokie residents and $12 for all other non-Evanston residents. These passes can be purchased in person at the Dempster and Clark Street Beach offices or online through the city’s Yodel Portal.
The price of seasonal passes varies based on the date of purchase.
Beach goers can expect temperatures in the mid to low 50s this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
The city manages five of six public beaches in Evanston, and they will remain open until Sept. 1.
