From all of us at Friends of Shipe Park, thank you for coming to the 8th Annual Shipe Pool Party and making it such a fantastic summer community gathering! At the height of the event, we estimated 400 people in attendance which is pretty remarkable! It’s also a great representation of the way this community loves our shared public space.

So sorry that movie was an epic fail last night. The movie company had some equipment failure, and we had to cancel at that last minute. We do plan to reschedule a movie in the field for another night in the future so stay tuned for a new date.
We couldn’t pull this event off without the support of our sponsors:
- Hyde Park Neighborhood Association (Live Music Sponsor)
- Grande Communications (Movie Sponsor)
- Hyde Park Baptist Church (Clown Sponsor)
And special thanks to the City of Austin Aquatics and Parks Department – their ongoing work keeps the park and park facilities a wonderful place for all of us! We are looking forward to a partnership with the city staff required to keep Shipe Park and Pools accessible, functional, and beautiful for all.
