Do you have any additional comments or questions about Northwest Pool? (Initially had error asking about Montopolis Pool. Survey was corrected.)
Nw Pool- a slide into the pool would be fun. Maybe a fountain in the kiddie pool or similar feature. Also yard games like corn hole or bocci ball would make the pool a place to spend more time

I don't see many areas, especially that are shaded, to just hang out and float, talk, cool off? Seems like it is mainly for lap swimmers and little kids. I'd like more open area, esp. that has some shade.

A spashpad would be epic. Not necessarily in the pool area, but maybe at the park so it can be used without an admission fee like other Austin parks

Instead of reducing the widths of the 50-meter lanes by 3 feet, I favor cutting the number of lanes from 8 to 6. The lanes need to accommodate more than one swimmer at a time, and diminishing the widths of the 50-meter lanes presents a problem.

NW Pool - Is there any way to add a slide to the diving board area? I think that would get more pre-teens/teens to the pool. I hope the kiddie pool also incorporates some splash pad fountains. It was suggested at the first meeting that there could be, even if we kept the deeper end (where kiddos learn to jump in and exit safely.) The neighborhood would love to see splash pad elements. Please remember to aerate the big pool. It makes a huge difference to the water temperature.
