I have always enjoyed Barton Springs Pool because it's more like a swimming hole (really nice one) than a pool. It's always cool even the heat and it's open year round. Lately, they've had to close it for lengths at a time for one reason or another (was it the salamanders?) but it's always great when it reopens. The area around the pool is great for playing frisbee or running & playing with the kids. It's a great spot for picnics or just hanging out!
