About

Clean pool alongside a playground, shaded picnic area and a baby pool, plus a diving board.

Specific pool temperatures are not consistently published for Walnut Creek Municipal Pool. As a public outdoor facility in Austin, TX, it is generally unheated, meaning its temperature fluctuates naturally with the ambient weather conditions and sun exposure.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Walnut Creek Pool is highly praised as a family-friendly destination, offering ample space, a dedicated kiddie pool or a large 3ft deep area perfect for children, and a clean environment. Reviewers consistently highlight the attentive and friendly lifeguards, noting their diligence, including 5-minute intervals for checking the pool bottom. A diving board is available and moves quickly. The location also benefits from a park/playground right beside the pool. However, there is a notable discrepancy regarding admission; while one review enthusiastically mentions 'FREE admission!', another explicitly states that 'Entry fees are cash only' and that there is no kiosk for payments. Some deep-end rules are considered strict, and a swim test is required for deep-end access.

Roomy! When you and your family want room to play and swim, you'll have it. The diving board can bring a crowd, but it moves fast. The lifeguards are on their job. I appreciate the 5-minute intervals where they take turns checking the bottom of the pool. Come cool off! To note (and really the only awful thing about this location): Entry fees are cash only! There is no kiosk to make your payments before entering the pool.

We’ve been coming to Walnut Creek Park for years, but somehow we just discovered the Walnut Creek Municipal Pool and let me tell you, we’re about to be in this thang ALL summer! ☀️💦 This place is a whole vibe friendly staff, lifeguards on duty, a dedicated kiddie pool for the little ones, and the best part? FREE admission! Move over, Barton Creek there’s a new pool in town, and it’s giving main character energy. 💧✨ But here’s a pro tip: Before you let your kiddos dive into the deep end, make sure they complete the swim test. Safety first, always! 🛟🌊 Whether you’re looking to cool off, splash around with the family, or just soak up the sun, this is the spot. Just remember NO RUNNING (unless you want to star in a slow-motion lifeguard rescue). 😅 If you haven’t checked out Walnut Creek Pool yet, you’re missing out. Summer plans? Secured. 🏊‍♂️ #WalnutCreekPoolVibes #SummerSplash

Loved this pool and playground, only thing I would say is that some of the rules for the deep end are very strict. Why does everyone have to get out of the pool for 1 person to do a pencil dive ? No idea , but im not in charge lol the pool atmosphere overall is great tho and the lifeguards are still very nice and awesome :)

We went for our first time on Saturday. It was so much fun and very clean. They have a very large area of the pool that is only 3ft deep. It is perfect for kids and we enjoyed it as well.
