Overview
- On July 5, an estimated 200 to 300 teenagers descended on the Glen Ellyn Park District’s Sunset Pool, leading staff to close the facility early
- Teens reportedly trespassed without paying, smoked cannabis, drank alcohol, set off fireworks and played loud, inappropriate music
- Bystander video captured a pool manager being pushed into the lap pool during the chaos
- Multiple suburban police departments helped evacuate the scene and later arrested one teen for illegal fireworks use
- Naperville officers also monitored a planned Centennial Beach takeover that did not materialize, and agencies are now increasing social media surveillance to deter future gatherings
