★★★★★ruth CatesGood venue. Nice and understanding staff. Good swim meet.
★★★★★Adolfo BenavidesAwesome and helpful staff! Austin, Lauren, Kendall and the whole team were just amazing, informative and super helpful. The water was beautiful. Easy hiking trails and a picturesque atmosphere. Definitely recommend for a field trip or big event.
★Rebecca MarkGorgeous pool when it is actually open. Note the website is not accurate: the pool is regularly used by the YMCA swim team and Buda athletics which means on weekdays you can show up and the entire pool is in use. They also have wonky hours like closing from 11-4pm in the day, every day. YMCA needs to either find a way to fully staff this pool or update their hours and not waste members time.
★★★★★Jonathan UribeGreat sized gym with high tech machines. The staff is always super friendly and the memberships are not only flexible and affordable but they also give you access to the other Greater Austin YMCA facilities. The highlights are definitely the massive pool and the outdoor walking trails.
★★★★Patricia GriggsNice place to take the family and do outdoor activities. There is also a nice pavilion for sitting down to eat lunch or some snacks. We were able to explore during one of their Family Exploration Days.
