The Texan summer is upon us, which means that it may be time to find some ways to beat the heat. For many, that may be an ice cream treat at a local shop. For others, getting in the water at a pool may be the best options. In this blog post, we are looking at hours for free splash pads in Austin TX. This is a great way to stay cool even if you are on a budget.

How much is it to visit a pool in Travis County?
If a splash pad just isn’t enough water for you or your child, there are several municipal and neighborhood pools where you can enjoy a day in the water for not a lot of money if you are a resident. Cost for a children ages 1-11, seniors, and honorably discharged veterans is $1 per day. Ages 12-17 are $2, and adults (18-62) are $3 per day. Non-residents can also use the pools, but will have to pay a larger fee, especially at the Barton Springs and Deep Eddy pools.
