The Texas Pool
Stephanie W. said: OK. Drop everything and get yourself to this pool! This pool is the epitome of Texas pride! This historic saltwater pool is gigantic. It has an island in the deep end located "in" Dallas-Forth Worth, and South Texas is a wade area for smaller children. There are two water slides and a diving board. Water volleyball is encouraged, as is grilling your own BBQ on their grills. They even welcome mermaid fins and offer special mermaid meetups!
