Deep Eddy Pool expands operational hours following repairs
AUSTIN, Texas - Deep Eddy Pool has expanded its operational hours following repairs.
Austin's Parks & Recreation Department (PARD) says the pool is now open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day with the shallow end opening at 10 a.m.
PARD says this marks a return to normal operating hours after repairs to the well pump and other mechanical issues.
The pool recently underwent deep cleaning in late June following severe weather.
