The natural spring pool was closed briefly for a little TLC, but it's back in business for spring break.
After a brief closure, Barton Springs Pool at Zilker Metropolitan Park in Austin has reopened, just in time for a relaxing spring break dip. The natural spring pool opened to swimmers early Saturday morning after two weeks of spring cleaning in order to welcome students across the state who are out for spring break this week. Sitting at 68 to 70 degrees year-round, the pool will be warm enough this week for holiday swimmers to test the waters. Lifeguards are present from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
every day except Thursday, when the pool closes down from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for cleaning. The pool is also open for “swim-at-your-own risk” during the early morning and late evening hours. Spring break visitors can buy tickets online or on the ATXSwims mobile app for $9 and under, depending on age and resident status. More than 800,000 swimmers have visited the pool in recent years.
