Known forhistoricmunicipal poolOld West Austinsummer staple
Texas's oldest swimming pool, built in 1915, is a historic municipal gem fed by cool well water and beloved by generations of Austinites. The shallow wading pool makes it especially popular with families and young children, while the main pool draws lap swimmers and loungers alike. It gets crowded on summer afternoons, so a morning visit on a weekday is the local move.
