Nice shade trees. There are only a few benches and no concessions so recommend bringing chairs/blanket and snacks/drinks. Parking is free.

This is my families go-to neighborhood pool. Having tried many of the public pools over the years here in Austin, this one is my favorite because of the cleanliness. This public pool is also much quieter than others in the greater austin area. Free entry with your summer pass, $5 for residents without the pass, and fee for august and September!

Great shade and the water isn't icy cold. Good place to cool off for a little bit without too much of a crowd.
