Barton Springs Pool Keeps 10 p.m. Closing Time in Austin

AUSTIN, TX — Barton Springs Pool will continue its tradition of late evening swims, remaining open daily until 10 p.m. this summer. Despite a sign suggesting a shift to earlier closing hours, the City of Austin has confirmed no changes are taking effect—at least for now.

Proposed Changes Paused

City officials had previously floated the idea of trimming pool hours as part of wider budget reduction efforts. While the measure was considered, no official action was taken. As a result, the pool's regular schedule will stay in place throughout the season.

Future Adjustments Still Possible

While the status quo is holding for now, city departments are still evaluating potential cost-saving strategies. Barton Springs Pool could still see schedule changes in the future depending on budgetary decisions, but residents can count on late-night dips for the time being.

What Visitors Should Know

Located at 2131 William Barton Dr., Barton Springs Pool remains a popular summer destination for locals and visitors alike. Standard hours are 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a swim-at-your-own-risk period in the early morning, followed by guarded swim hours later in the day.
