Lake Hills Community Pool

Best Neighborhood.

Visiting some friends who live in this neighborhood totally made me jealous that we don’t have a place like this in Seattle. Of course perhaps the super sunny Austin weather all-​year-​round has something to do with it.
Nice swimming pool, sand volleyball, basketball court, dock to fish or swim off of on Lake Austin — what’s not to like?
It was a bit of a bummer that the playground equipment was torn down (we were told it was temporary until the new stuff they bought goes in) — but otherwise this was a pretty fun place to pass the time with the kiddos, even in the «winter».

Hidden gem in the Lake Hills neighborhood –Cuernevaca area. The pool and parking lot is private. There are 400 – 450 memberships available if you live in the neighborhood. $ 350 a year is super cheap and the grounds are just amazing.
You must have a sticker on your vehicle and a scan tag to park in the parking lot or use the pool. They do tow. Also has a private boat launch and parking for members. If you are not a member you can walk through the gate and use the park. Only problem, there is no parking on the street. Non members park up in the neighborhood or walk from thier house.
The new board has done an amazing job. They put in a new board walk and kayake racks. In general, cleaned up the place. Seems like there are a lot more people going down on the weekends to BBQ, swim and hang out. So much fun for kids of all ages. They even made a little beach area on the lake that is perfect for toddlers and such.
If you live in the neighborhood, sign up for membership, you won’t regret it. If you do not live in the hood, make some friends who do!
It’s a little hippie and very laid back. We do ask that you don’t bring glass containers (wine glasses/​mugs/​beer bottles) and please keep the pooches on a leash.

You wish you lived out here. We’re growing quite a community out on Lake Austin, and the park is the epicenter of our neighborhood. I enjoyed living out here before we had a kid, but now that we have a kid, we’ve met a bunch of awesome people in the neighborhood. Meeting up at the park is easy and fun.
