Deep Eddy reopens today
Monday, March 11, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
After being closed for more than three months for repairs and upkeep, Deep Eddy Pool reopens today. Replacement of a damaged bulkhead and new deck lighting is now complete, with some financial help from the Austin Parks Foundation. The reopening coincides with a push to hire summer lifeguards. On Thursday, March 21, and Friday, April 5, that push will be accompanied by free pizza during lifeguard hiring open hours. The open hours will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Aquatic Division Office (2818 San Gabriel St.) where interested folks age 15 and up can apply and register for training. Applicants should have identification and a Social Security card in order to complete the requisite paperwork.
