About Big Stacy Neighborhood Park in Austin
Big Stacy Neighborhood Park is a public recreational area located in the Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The park is situated on E Live Oak St and covers an area of several acres. One of its most notable features is the Big Stacy Pool, a year-round swimming facility that is naturally heated by an underground well.
The pool at Big Stacy Park is approximately 33 yards long with 6 lanes, making it suitable for lap swimming and recreational use. The water temperature is maintained around 80 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, which makes it particularly popular for winter swimming. The pool is free to enter and is open daily except for Mondays and when the outside temperature drops below freezing.
Big Stacy Neighborhood Park is part of the Austin Parks and Recreation system and offers various amenities beyond the swimming pool. The park provides a space for community gatherings and outdoor activities, contributing to the recreational options available to Austin residents.
The natural heating system of the pool has been a longstanding feature. The city has installed backup heaters to ensure the pool's continued operation in case the natural well system fails.
