Subject: FREE Pool Admission

Dear Neighbors,

To help you beat the heat, I worked with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) and am pleased to announce that starting today through September 30, all city pools with the exception of Barton Springs will be FREE. Many in our community are struggling with the heat and we designed this action to provide some relief. In or close to District 10 these fee waivers apply to Deep Eddy and Northwest Pool. Please help us spread the word.

This action grew out of my conversation with Go Austin/Vamos Austin (GAVA) last Friday and I want to thank GAVA for their advocacy. I also am grateful that Parks and Recreation Department Director Kimberly McNeeley and the aquatics staff moved quickly to waive fees so that families that rely on our pools can do so for free.

Last week, due to the ongoing heatwave and expanded lifeguard staffing PARD also announced that six pools will extend operations through October 1. Find pool locations and hours at AustinTexas.gov/Pools.

Try to stay cool!

Regards,

Alison Alter

Council Member, District 10
