Bartholomew Pool Renovation

Best New Eastside Respite
Lizzie Jespersen

With the Texas sun blazing and Austin humidity sticking, it's easy to want to spend summer hidden away in the cool embrace of an air-conditioning unit. We get it. Unfortunately, your kids probably don't. When they drag you wide-eyed and blinking into the sunlight, steer them in the direction of Bartholomew Pool and all of its renovated, newly opened glory. Between the winding waterslide duo, frog slide, "lily pad" obstacle course, and diving board, the whole family will find something to keep them occupied, wet, and happy.
