Barton Springs Pool to reopen Tuesday after week-long closure

AUSTIN, Texas — Barton Springs Pool will reopen Tuesday morning after being closed for more than a week, city officials said.

The pool, located at 2131 William Barton Dr., will reopen for its regularly scheduled early morning “swim at your own risk” session June 23, according to Austin Parks and Recreation.

City aquatics staff spent the closure removing large tree branches, aluminum cans, fishing hooks and other debris from the water, cleaning the pool decks and reinstalling the diving board and lifeguard stands.

The pool closed June 15 after heavy rain caused Barton Creek to overflow into the pool, raising water levels to their highest point in more than a year, according to U.S. Geological Survey data.
