Save Our Springs Alliance

Thank you to those who attended the Joint Committee Meeting yesterday regarding the proposal to build a large ornamental gate and columns at the back gate and the placement of a large art sculpture on the South hill of the pool grounds.

After much public comment, the Committee voted unanimously to work with the artist of the sculpture to place the piece OUTSIDE of the pool grounds and to revisit the back gate additions of stone columns, an ornamental gate and a new ticket booth and reconvene on that at their June meeting.  The crowd who attended and those who spoke were in favor of moving the sculpture outside of the pool and passionately supported retaining the historically undeveloped, natural look and feel of the south gate.

Stay tuned for updates and upcoming meetings regarding the master plan and the changes being proposed for the pool.

Grab your mat and water bottle and meet us at the back gate area outside of Barton Springs Pool off of Robert E. Lee Rd.  First class is Saturday, May 5th  10-11 am and every Saturday at 10am through July.  

Pam Brewer is teaching all May classes.  She has been a practicing yoga instructor for over 15 years, has  studied in India with Pattabhi Jois and is also a certified iRest® Meditation instructor.  June classes will be taught by various teachers from Yoga Yoga. Classes are free and open to the public.

The Save Our Springs Alliance is pleased to announce the second year of The Reliant Energy EcoShare^SM Program, a way that Texans can support SOS and offset their own carbon production at the same time.

Gone swimmin’ ... That’s what we're doing ...at various swimming holes on the Barton Creek greenbelt and at Barton Springs.  The creek is too beautiful to miss these days.  Check out these photos by Nancy Scanlan taken in early April!
