Joe Louis cools down by Barton Springs Pool

Summer days in Austin can easily reach over 100 degrees. But with the sun shining brightly it seems wrong to stay indoors in air conditioning. Barton Springs Pool, inside Zilker Park provides the perfect alternative. Go for a swim or rent a kayak or bring your dog for a game of wet fetch. It’s a wonderful way to stay cool.
