Big Stacy Neighborhood Pool

This is why I love Austin, there's always something new popping up and this is one of there best kept secret cause it's free, absolutely Free, it's settled on the southend of Big Stacy park depending on which entrance you come from, it wasn't to crowded more so it was sectioned off in three areas,the longest area going parallel with the pool was sectioned off for athletes, maybe already graduates, some still working there way through,it was pretty awesome seeing them practice, I really enjoyed this moment cause I got to see grandpa with his grandson,mommy with her baby, father with his son, and then there was one "me" , waddling in the pool just enjoying the moment, and for the last section well that was the deeper end and kids have to learn a practice swim before they can go over there, also there is a strict policy in place there is to be no diving from anyone!!pool opens at 6a.m. to 8p.m.on weekdays and 12 to 7p.m. on weekends,there are two lifeguards on duty at all times and they were each respectful and helpful when spoken too or asked a question,there are restrooms here with plenty of parking,I tell you,it was refreshing on another hot Texas summer day, to my ppl in wheelchairs , the pool is accessible ,I also want to send a special shout out to my friends the lifeguards Pedro and David, thank you for being sports and answering my questions,now you see it was real

Life guards are very attentive and friendly. They always have an answer for my questions about pool toys and such that’s allowed. One even offered to give my son a swim test and quick swim lesson. Can get a little busy in the evenings but we go early and it’s usually empty. Water is always clean and cool. Kids love this pool. Several lap lanes available as well

The friendliest people! It was our first time here with my 1.5 year old baby and he had a blast. Everyone interacts so kindly and the lifeguards are great. They're attentive, making sure everyone has a good experience and keeps order as far as the kids and safety go. We will definitely be back. I also genuinely love that they welcome homeless people to take showers. As someone who has found myself struggling many times, I appreciate this so much.

Had a very bad experience today... As I had a argument with an individual that wouldn't let me repark my Truck as the parking there is really tight. He kept pulling his car towards my truck... I wasn't even in the swimming pool area. Then without even talking too me about the situation the girl lifeguard calls the police and then she waits over an hour for them instead of watching the pool area. Then they get there and they let her say I can no longer go swimming at that pool...That is totally ridiculous over an issue in the parking lot. But yet there are people doing drugs in there cars and very sketchy homeless people all in the area.

Pool is all lanes until 10 am. Empty in the morning. Parking is tight. Free.

Visiting from out of town, we found this free public pool to be a great spot! It's clean inside and out, with several attentive lifeguards on duty. While most of the pool was dedicated to swimming lanes, the area available to everyone was spacious, and it wasn't overcrowded during our visit on March 5 around 5pm. The grassy area next to the pool was perfect for relaxing, and the public bathrooms were decent. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Traveling swimmer seeking pool? This pool is heated in the winter, but can get hot in the summer. Arrive at 6am for a full lap swimming setup. Open all year round. Fresh water, spring fed… interesting to swim with no drains to look at on the bottom. It’s 100ft long because it was built in 1935.
