What are people saying (AI review summary)? This is a basic, free neighborhood pool, often described as a great summer spot for Austin residents, though it's closed on Thursdays. Visitors are advised to bring their own chairs and towels as there are no amenities or shade. While lifeguards are present and staff are generally friendly, significant issues include frequent pool closures due to chemical imbalances and a very dirty porta potty restroom.

One of the oldest parks in Austin. Beautiful green space with many species of old Oak trees. This was the 1st park for Chicanos and they're many familias with deep, deep roots engraved into this Sacred Dirt! Parqué Zaragosa

The city does a terrible job of making sure this pool is actually usable. Half the times I go, some chemical balance is off, whether it be the alkalinity or the chlorine, and the pool is unusable. So why are we paying four lifeguards to just hang out, lay in a hammock, etc?

This is a super basic neighborhood pool. There are a few in the area, which is awesome. There are no perks, no chairs, no frills, but it is FREE. The city provides life guards and the pool is maintained pretty well. If you are looking for something super nice go somewhere else. If you are cool chilling with the neighborhood and bringing your own chair, come on down!!
