Barton Springs Pool, Austin

My buddy (Matt)and I are in the US Navy and can't wait to retire next year. We talk about Austin practically everyday...maybe after reading some of these reviews he and his family may want to consider Austin a little more. Regardless, I've heard only good things about the city.

my family and i went not knowing they let people swim in the nude. NOT FAMILY FRIENDY But do get me wrong it is a very nice place green grass lots of tree and the water is clear. A+ if they did let people swim in the nude.

I enjoyed going to Barton Springs. The only concern I had is they allow nude swimmers. Needless to say my pre-teenage children loved Barton Springs and want to go back! I would have to say I will not return to Barton Springs because of that.

i love this place so much i moved here...the water is always cold...always people around. i love it! you can go to zilker park whoch is right around the corner.

This place was awesome. If youre looking for a place to relax, go here.

Likes: Cool, refreshing, fun, cheap, fun. Dislikes: None Barton Springs is in the heart of the greenbelt and is a great place to cool off in the summer.

Besides Barton Springs Austin Would just be known for being a lousy capitol with all there is to look at I had a Cousin that came out of this country and this was her favorite part of the trip.

Excellent "pool". Nice cold temperature in the hot Texas summers.

Everyone has said the've been here and there and can't remember when the'll go back but if you say you can't remember going to Austin and saying you didn't do enough you forgot to step out of the car. Austin is filled with many locations all with several venues at one spot but the best is at Barton Creek. You can chill in 60 degree spring water and forget about time because you will forget to look because no one is in any hurry to get anywhere but where they are, if that isn't enough in the same location you can oft for a canoe ride down the river and not even wait 5 minutes or if that doesn't float your boat then there's a trail ride for people and one with Horses for those skilled enough So there is much you can say about this place and that place but untill you have been here, all you ever hear will still be whispers in your mind until you let them step outside your mind into this great land of adventure and wonder we call Barton Springs.

I love Barton Springs. The cool, clear water reminds me how lucky we are to live in Austin. At times the water can be too cold, but it is always refreshing. Although most people enjoy Barton Springs in the summer, I've enjoyed being a member of the Polar Bear club. We go swim on New Year's Day as well as other cooler days throughout the year. The waters of Barton Springs are invigorating and can make you feel younger immediately. Join the fun!
