Hello everyone! We had a GREAT first week of pool operations! It was so nice to see you all out here enjoying the park! Here is the schedule for this upcoming week! Don't forget - the pool is always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!

The LBJ State Park swimming pool will open this Wednesday, June 10th. I know everyone has been eagerly awaiting an opening date and we appreciate everybody's patience as we have been working through a significant plumbing repair in the bathhouse.

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in hiring our full slate of seasonal lifeguards. We were able to fill four of the six positions. Because of this, there will be some periodic closures of the main pool and the kiddie pool will be closed for the duration of the season in order to be compliant with lifeguarding safety requirements. We will post schedules weekly on Mondays or Tuesdays so everybody knows what to expect as they plan their visits.

There will be a few new additions to services/amenities provided this year, though! Ice cream will be available for purchase to give you yet another way to cool off in the Texas heat! We will also be adding lounge chairs for some extra seating options. Those should be arriving sometime this month and will be out as soon as we receive them!

We hope to see you at the pool! Here is this week's operating schedule.

Nature's beauty in a panoramic view! 🤩

When visiting LBJ State Park spring into summer, the view is breathtaking. Colors pop out in gold, orange, and red. Beautiful to the human eyes but also important for the wildlife. These flowers can only exist thanks to thousands of different species, like butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and many, many more. In turn, these pollinators get some food from these beautiful flowers as a thanks for helping out,

Although you may be tempted to take a few of these flowers home, leave them and the critters to do their job. Simply enjoy the scenery!
