Garrison Municipal Pool

"Medium size kiddie wading pool partly in the shade. Larger Olympic size swimming pool with diving board And dedicated swimming lanes large enough to enjoy even on crowded days. Always kept clean, very large restroom / changing rooms. Plenty of lawn space to relax under the shade or grab a sun tan. I've been coming to this pool since I was a kid & have always enjoyed it!!"

"The pools great when its not over croweded. The water is clean and surrounding area. A great place to have a dip in the pool and then be on your way to the next adventure."

"Still has a cc machine that is broken as often as it works. Staff is too young and inexperienced to realize it is not the patrons fault the cc machine doesn't work. The staff should allow those patrons in regardless if they were able to "pay" because it's the city of Austin's fault th cc machine doesn't work. Can you imagine packing your whole family for a pool day, only to be turned away at the gate because the method of taking payments doesn't work. ( Remember this is part of our city park system, that all Travis County residents pay for thru taxes. ) Not only have I personally witnessed this happen but also friends have and have even paid cash for people to get in. For children it can almost be traumatic to go for a special pool day only to be turned away thru no fault of their own. Not to mention temperatures between 95 and 104 degrees. Once again let me be clear, fix the Credit Card machine or let people in for free if that's their only form of payment. BTW this has been an ongoing issue with this particular cc machine going on for years to my knowledge. The pool is great place for families."

"The lifeguards don't pay attention. The pool is over crowded and unsafe. They don't have ladders to come out of the pool but enforce safety when you're on the wrong side with a noodle even when you're clearly able to swim and not around anyone. When they tell everyone to get out for 5 minutes for safety it doesn't apply to the shallow pool which is contradicting their reasoning for chemicals etc."

"Must be some trashy clientele who use this pool. My 14 year old non verbal, autistic boy attended a camp session today (6/6/22). He was in the shower and a group of kids called him slurs and stole both his swimsuit and his rash guard - leaving him scared and naked in the bathroom. Watch your stuff and your kids closely here. Yes, camp staff has to be more attentive, but pool staff should have been all over this once it occurred. I’m just glad nothing worse happened to him"
