Featuring Austin's iconic Barton Springs imagery and some cool tunes (and some goofy white guy in a gimme cap), here's a short video about preserving old Austin so what new Austin can enjoy it.

The next Barton Springs volunteer day is Aug. 1 (9am-noon). Please park uphill from the Bathhouse (green areas in left map), and look for the registration table by the new north "POOL ENTRANCE" to Barton Springs Pool to the west end of the bathhouse (right map). Join us!
@LuzMorenoLozano@KUT Hi Luz. This mornings KUT bathhouse bit incorrectly said the bathhouse was recently reopened . Actually, construction launched in Feb., and will go thru 2025. Happy to answer any questions . Mike Cannatti, Barton Springs Conservancy, 512.284.1784
Please Amplify Barton Springs Conservancy today. We couldn't find a "pretty boy" to for this "spotlight" video, but this fella made our pitch that we're working to preserve Barton Springs as part of OLD Austin so that NEW Austin can enjoy it.

@jamesrambin Make no mistake, another goal is to “dramatically reduce” vehicle parking down to 1000 spaces from the current capacity of 2450 spaces. This 60% reduction in access to Zilker Park would be painful.
This refrain was repeated many, many times, or at least that's what it sounded like to us. Here are some pictures showing what positive things can happen in the shallow end with our brush-broom crew.

INDEED, we had a GREAT day at the Springs with a crew of about 15 volunteers from Indeed, the Austin-based job listing website company. Thanks to all for being Friends of Barton Springs Pool!!!!!
The day started with a lusty serenade from one of the swimmers from the south side who greeted us with the song, "Friends of Barton Springs Pool is ...* a Friend of Barton Springs Pool!!!!"
In collaboration with 15 other nonprofit organizations, we are proud to announce the launch of Zilker 351 @Zilker351 to honor, preserve, and enhance Zilker Metropolitan Park FOR ALL! @zilker351
There are lots of ways the Zilker Vision Plan makes Zilker Park more sustainably greener, inclusive, and accessible park for ALL of Austin, such as by improving the natural experience with an impressive and appealing nature/land bridge crossing over Barton Springs Road.
