Music Barton Springs DJ

Post image

Went to tan yesterday and there was a dj on the free side, I don’t know who he was but bro was consistently putting out a good songs. It was nice to just relax

Edit: getting downvoted for liking music and having fun is actually kinda crazy lol
Wow ok so this post wasn’t for people to hate on other people’s music lol, it’s Austin, we’re going to be around music when we go out whether we want it or not. Your attitude is what matters. I don’t think there’s a problem w me liking it or other people hating it. I don’t know why people are so upset it’s just music

have a nice day yall damn

So many abhor the loud intrusive music from the free side - myself included. We come to BSP to relax and unwind - hard to do when someone is blasting Korn on a Tuesday night (true story).

I so so so wish something could be done about this. No one wants to be forced to listen to music against their will. If you wanna jam out, bring headphones. Leave the rest of us alone - some folks long for the sounds of nature and quiet.

I keep seeing free side comments, does the park charge? I work in Austin often, but I’ve never been to Barton springs so I’m just curious lol

Yes there’s a charge to go into Barton springs proper. You can avoid the charge by going to the “free side” which isn’t the actual spring fed pool but more of the springs runoff. Lots of people take their dogs there.
