Restoring Barton Springs Wall | Austin News

Austin’s about to tackle a major restoration at Barton Springs Pool — the historic 1917 stone retaining wall on the east side, now showing serious structural weakness from decades of tree and plant pressure. Starting September 8 and wrapping in early 2027, the city will remove 37 trees, conduct engineering assessments, and repair the wall — all while keeping the pool open. No replanting in the area to prevent recurrence. History preserved, safety secured. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
