There's also a pretty cool slide and one of those "walk on floats across the water" things. My kids stayed for almost 2 hours and the only reason we left then is because they were starting to turn red from their sunscreen wearing off. The lifeguards were also great. We have gotten so used to overbearing lifeguards this summer who blow their whistles and yell nonstop and this was a nice change of pace. They were very patient with everyone, using normal speaking voices and only using whistles if someone was doing something dangerous. It made for a very relaxing and fun experience. The entry for kids is about standard ($3 each) and a bit higher than usual for adults ($6 each) but one of the benefits of this is that the place wasn't very crowded so we were able to have a good time without feeling cramped. We'll definitely be coming back again, kids and adults had a great time.

The layout is split between a young children splash pad area and a full size pool that is split into multiple sections. I was incredibly impressed by everything they have to offer. The splash section has a slide and plenty of shade for the kids. The big pool has a walk in section that gradually gets deeper as you get in. To top it off, the have the diving boards to get out all your high flying energy. We will definitely be back all summer long.

They have a high dive and a low dive that dips into 12 Ft pool. They have 2 swim lanes, they can be shared. I do think they have certain hours where it is open swim, adult swim, etc. Check online before going to make sure you will be able to swim. They have a lot of picnic tables and chairs to lay your stuff at while you swim. They have a small kids play water park with slides and a bucket that dumps water. It looked like fun but since I didn't have a kid with me, I didn't venture to that side. Overall, this pool is great and I would come again!

Huge water slide for bigger kids/adults and a smaller one for smaller kids. Outside volleyball, soccer, bmx trail, 2 separated playgrounds (one for bigger kids and one for smaller).

They have a little kiddie pool which my toddler was stoked about. It was down right filthy!!! I mean it was soooo dirty. There was bugs galore, leaves, bird feathers and all kinds of stuff floating in it!! It was nasssssssty!! But despite that heres the real kicker. After about 30 min or so they switched life guards. The one up there that was leaving was doing her job and she did it well. Now this new one omg was the worst. The entire time she was up there she was just jibber jabbering with a guest the entire time. Not ONCE did she pay attention to anyone in the pool. Not once did she look or even gaze at any of the children or people in the pool. She didnt even turn her head. A woman in the lane next to me noticed the same thing I did and said something to me about it. She then told me i should say something. So I did. When I approached the young girl working the front she seemed not surprised nor shocked that I said something but yet preceded to tell me " i think i saw her turn her head a couple times"! Are u kidding me right now? I asked for a supervisor number and she gave it to me. Not once did she apologize or say anything. This place is a filthy dangerous joke. All the floats and equipment are rotten and trashed teeth marks bent up. I will never ever go back here. You couldn't pay me to go back to this crappy place. What a shame.

Plus, this is one of the few swim schools in Austin that has a comprehensive adult curriculum. I look forward to coming here every week. Margo T. has especially been a fantastic instructor to learn from and I'm grateful for her resourcefulness and expertise. She coaches with kindness and encouragement, and she puts in extra time to find new drills for me that target my weaknesses. She is attentive in the pool and always has great feedback that helps me improve quickly. I'm so grateful for Margo and the entire Waterloo team for providing a fun and effective learning environment for adult swimmers.

Review from Thursday, August 14th... Evening…read more This was our second pool we went to. Its an Austin Pool and its free to public. But be warned there are many kids...as it sits ON the school grounds!! The parking chaotic because its the school, but the pool itself is super nice. It got a little packed there for a while, no doubt. But the they offer floatation devices such as kick boards and noodles etc. There is one lap lane, I believe. The pool is from 4ft to 12'10" I think is what it said. There is a diving board as well, which is really nice. Fairly large pool, nice area. All concrete walk to and from. I liked it a lot. My kids and hubs did as well.

I often walk through this park with my dog as there are two pet waste stations, offering convenience on both ends of the park. During the weekends, more families bring their kids to the playgrounds, but the park is more or less empty during the week. Buttercup Creek Park also features two tennis courts with lights. You must purchase a key from Cedar Park Parks & Recreation. The courts are well-maintained and open on a first-come, first-served basis. The pool is open to the public during the summer, but check the Cedar Park Recreation website for current hours. There is also ample parking available. I took off one star because the park itself is tiny. Though it packs a ton of amenities, one could walk from one end to the other in 1-2 minutes. Overall, Buttercup Creek Park is a great place to visit.

It is a large pool with a shallow and deep end with a diving board. There is also a ramp that you can walk in slowly with your babies or handicapped persons. The ramp literally looks like a wheelchair ramp that goes into the water along one side of the pool. The pool has a "lap" part where more serious swimmers can swim laps and an "open" part where you can just float around and play in the water freely. There is also a kiddie pool that is very shallow for toddlers and babies - still needs supervision of course. There is a fenced gate around the kiddie pool to separate it from the larger pool. There is shading under a large tree and small picnic tables, too. There were also lounging chairs that you can lay back on and sun bathe. They aren't open all year round but usually only during summer break. The lifeguards are usually highschool kids .. for summer jobs. There are plenty of parking spaces, restrooms, showers to rinse off and water fountains. Also if you're into PokemonGo there are a couple of stops and a gym here. :)
