Chicago dominates Illinois shower options with the Park District operating 70+ facilities across the city. Lake Michigan beaches have 30+ shower stations open from May through October - completely free to use. The Loop caters to finance workers with premium gyms opening as early as 4:30am, while South and West sides have strong community center networks.
If you're passing through O'Hare, numerous hotels offer day rates for layover passengers needing a shower. Downstate Illinois is a different story - many small towns rely entirely on YMCAs, and some have no public options at all. University towns like Champaign-Urbana open campus facilities to the community, especially during summer.
