Martin Pool is closed after a storm damaged an electrical pole
Wednesday, August 7, 2024 by Beth Bond
Tree limbs at East Austin’s Martin Pool, 1626 Nash Hernandez Sr. Road, broke and fell during Sunday’s rainstorm, and the pool is closed for repairs until further notice. The limbs damaged the electrical pole for the entire pool facility. Staffers are in the process of getting a quote and timeline for the repairs. Meanwhile, Metz Pool and Parque Zaragoza Pool are operational through Sunday, Aug. 11, before they close for the season. Govalle Pool will remain open weekdays through Aug. 18, and weekends only through Sept. 2. For more information about all city pools, check out AustinTexas.gov/Pools.
