First time bringing the family here, love the water for what it is. Will have to go for the other park cause they won't let you bring dog at Barton pool.

I used to come here when I was a kid. So now that I'm grown with kids of my own, I wanted to come back and bring my kids so they could experience it. It was just like I remembered. The freezing cold water is so refreshing in the summer heat. We were there on a Wednesday afternoon so it... More

I see some people call it a natural spring. Ok, the springs itself is natural, but much of it is cement, like a regular man-made pool. We had... More

Barton Springs pool was very nice and clean. You have to pay $5 to park or if you don't mind a hike, park at Zilker park and walk.
