The Vision Plan will help the Parks and Recreation Department decide how to manage aging pools and guide installation of new pools where they are most needed. Community input guided theteam of architects, pool industry experts, and city staff as they laid out a 20-year vision for Austin's pools and waterplay areas. There are 51 public pool facilities, which include 29 neighborhood pools, 3 wading pools, 6 municipal pools, 11 splash pads, 1 rental facility, and the Barton Springs Pool. The plan addresses ADA accessibility, amenities and features, improvements to existing pools, programs, the latest aquatic technology, public and environmental safety, costs for maintenance and new pools, and the best methods and locations to build new pool facilities.
The SWIM 512 Vision Plan builds on the findings from the Aquatic Needs Assessment (Phase I) and the SWIM 512 Public Engagement (Phase II). For more information on the Aquatic Assessment please see the Aquatic Assessment Synopsis page. For more information on the SWIM 512 Engagement please see the SWIM 512 Synopsis page.
