Barton Springs Pool closing next week
Friday, February 10, 2017 by Nina Hernandez
Barton Springs Pool will be closed next week (Feb. 13-Feb. 20) so that crews can continue work on the Eliza Spring Daylighting Project. The project is an effort to improve the habitat for the Barton Springs and Austin Blind salamanders that live there. In order to fix a failing pipe in the north lawn, crews need to drawn down the pool. Because this is Texas and swimming weather can strike without warning, Deep Eddy Pool will have extended hours on those days (6 a.m.-7:30 p.m. on weekdays, 6 a.m.-7 p.m. on weekends).
