The floating pool at the 31st Street Marina in Chicago was designed specifically with winter in mind. When filled, the pool sits flush with the deck of the platform. However, in the winter, when the pool is empty to aluminum insert is able to free float at its natural level in the water beneath it.
With the two structures designed to float independently, the Harbor is able to fill and drain the pool without affecting the surrounding structures.
Located along Lake Shore Drive on Chicago’s lakefront, the 31st Street Harbor is one of the newest of the Chicago Harbors, sitting just south of Burnham Harbor. The site pairs the marina with green space and a convenient parking garage, giving boaters and visitors easy access to the water.
