About
Join Friends of Deep Eddy to care for grounds of the oldest pool in Texas! Volunteers are needed to mulch trees and remove trash from the parkland surrounding* Deep Eddy Pool.
**Bring your water bottle, closed-toe shoes, and clothes for getting dirty.** Tools will be available, however you are welcome to bring your own too, as well as gloves and trash grabbers. Wheelbarrows would be especially helpful.
Meet at 9:30am on the Eilers Park playground just outside the pool. Coffee and OJ will be donated by our generous friends at HEB! APF is providing free tshirts to volunteers registered here in advance. Pool entry will be free, so feel free to bring your swim gear for after.
*In addition to mulching trees, volunteers will pick up trash accumulating on the roughly 9 acres of land purchased by the City of Austin from AJ Eilers in 1925. This land includes Deep Eddy Pool's paved parking lot up to the alleyway (Foster Avenue) and over to Veteran's Drive, south to the Butler Hike and Bike Trail, and west through Eilers Park and adjacent City-owned lots to Hearn Street.
