A landmark in Austin swimming
The City dates the original pool and bathhouse to 1956 and identifies it as Austin’s first 50-meter regulation Olympic-size pool. That history explains its role in hosting larger swimming competitions.[3]

78757: Northwest Pool’s swimming history and neighborhood parks
Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest Pool at 7000 Ardath Street connects a renewed aquatic facility with Austin’s swimming history. Nearby postal listings include other neighborhood parks, which should be treated as separate outing choices.
4 linked sources · CheckedA renovated facility, with its own schedule
The City’s project page reports the renovated facility open to the public. Current swimming availability still depends on the separately published seasonal pool timetable.[2][3]
Other park addresses in the area
Austin lists Brentwood Neighborhood Park at 6710 Arroyo Seco and Wooten Neighborhood Park at 1500 Dale Drive. These are alternatives with their own locations, not extensions of the pool facility.[1]
Plan a little better
Before you go
A few things to know
Why is Northwest Pool historically significant?
The City identifies the original 1956 facility as Austin’s first regulation 50-meter Olympic-size pool, enabling the city to qualify for national swimming meets.[3]
Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?
No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[4]

Where 78757’s restaurants stand today
Counting each of the 225 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 93/100, 151 currently sit at 90 or above, and 7 are below 80 (3.1% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78757 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Neighborhoods in and around 78757
1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78757. These two geographies do not nest. A planning area can straddle several ZIPs and a ZIP can cover parts of several planning areas, so read this as “overlaps”, never as “78757 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78757 but not its middle will be missing from this list.
Boundaries: City of Austin neighborhood planning areas. Overlap is computed by point-in-polygon against each ZIP’s centroid, which is a coarse test and is the reason this list is short.
Economy and county context for 78757
This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Travis County, the county ZIP 78757 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78757.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 581,018 service requests spanning 61 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78757
Where is 78757 located?
ZIP code 78757 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under North Austin. City of Austin neighborhood planning areas whose boundary contains the 78757 centroid include Allandale. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
Is 78757 safe?
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 8,132 311 service requests were filed in 78757 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 2,400 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 91 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.
How many 311 requests are open in 78757?
561 311 service requests in ZIP 78757 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 546 open and 15 in progress. Residents filed 8,132 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 651 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78757?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78757 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 25 hours, and nine in ten within 14 days. That is about level with the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How many code enforcement cases are there in 78757?
Austin Code has opened 2,400 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78757, of which 91 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 5.0 days to resolve. 95 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.
How many restaurants in 78757 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 1,399 inspections at 225 distinct facilities in ZIP 78757, averaging 91.9/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
How do restaurants in 78757 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78757 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 225 facilities. 151 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 7 at their last visit came in below 80 — 3.1% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include McDonald's #1116 - Burnet Rd (100), Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas (100), Burnet Chevron (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 25, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
What are the top bars in 78757?
28 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78757 for August 2026, totalling $1,615,972 in alcohol receipts — #9 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were MAMA BETTY'S TEX-MEX Y FOXTAIL ($237,512), BARTLETT'S ($232,234), JACK ALLEN'S KITCHEN ($96,863). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.
What is the economy like around 78757?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78757 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 877,417. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78757.

Where these numbers come from

- Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 25, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
