The Austin Tennis and Pickleball Center offers eight lighted outdoor pickleball courts with permanent nets, the largest dedicated public pickleball setup in the City of Austin system, located at Walnut Creek Sports Park on Johnny Morris Road in northeast Austin. Open play runs seven days a week from 7 am to 10 pm per Austin Parks and Recreation, with the staffed center operating Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 10 pm and weekends 8:30 am to 9 pm; courts are reservable through the center’s operator, and the lights keep games going past dark, a real asset in Texas summers. City court rules apply: first-come play, 60-minute limits when others wait, and no monopolizing courts. Lessons and organized programming run through the center. The permanent nets mean players just show up with paddles and balls.
Austin has several tennis centers in town which give an almost country club like experience. The courts are good, you can reserve them, there’s an office, which can string rackets, sells drinks, and can book lessons. Austin Tennis Center is a little bit farther out than most of them, but it has an enormous number of courts so it is the easiest one to book courts at. The booking process is not great, as the website is a little bit clunky, but if it’s not working, you can just call them and book it on the phone. Their lighting is excellent, and if you play pickle ball, Austin Tennis Center has installed several Pickleball courts, which are always busy. This is our go to location if we’re trying to book courts at the last minute.
I love this place so much. It is slightly less busy than the other tennis centers around town (Caswell, Pharr, SATC) so it’s fairly easy to get a court reservation (I’ve even gotten same-day afternoon/evening reservations here several times). I live close to Airport and 290 and there is never any traffic getting to ATC even during rush hour. Most notably though, great new surfaces on the tennis courts. Underrated place all around. Also, controversially, I actually appreciate that they have separate courts for the pickleballers instead of making them shared courts like at other municipal tennis courts.
The courts are in really good condition. I like how this area is secluded which means there is no traffic to disturb you! The staff is nice as well 🙌🏻
The pickle ball courts here are a disaster. The markings are not proper and the outdoor courts barely stop the wind. The red lines in the image are the markings for the court which is confusing as well.
Quite frankly, I did not play tennis on these courts. However, the courts did look quite nice. On the other hand, Austin Tennis Center is a nice starting spot to run on the Walnut Creek Trail. I’ve run many sections of this trail and I enjoyed this section the best. You get great views and great challenges with the hills. There isn’t anything too intense but if you’re looking to go for a longer run or bike ride, this is a great starting point.
