About this place
Five pickleball courts striped onto two multi-purpose outdoor courts in south-west Austin, the largest open-play count in the city and the largest anywhere in Austin outside the reservation-only Tennis and Pickleball Center. The City states: "2 Multi-purpose Outdoor Courts with striping for 5 Pickleball Courts". It is lit during park hours and runs the standard schedule of open play seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Together that makes it, on the published record, the most capable turn-up-and-play venue in Austin. The one thing the record does not tell you is what the courts are made of. Austin states surface nowhere, at any of its twenty-one venues.
Getting there
8011 Beckett Rd., Austin, Texas 78749, matched by the Census geocoder to Austin city, Travis County. Dick Nichols is a district park in the Oak Hill part of south-west Austin, some way from the central cluster of venues around Chicon and Rosewood. Mary Moore Searight Metro Park, with four courts, is the nearest published alternative to the south-east. No parking information is published.
What to expect
The best odds in Austin of getting on a court without booking. Five courts under lights, open until 10 p.m. every day, on two shared slabs, so the courts exist alongside whatever else they are marked for. A busy evening is a real possibility because this is the venue everyone else has also worked out is the good one. Surface is not stated, nets are not mentioned either way, and no price is published.

What claiming does and does not doShow less
You can claim this listing and correct anything on it. To be clear about what claiming does and does not do: it gives you control of your own facts and a channel to reach us, and it is shown on the page as confirmed by the venue with the date you confirmed it.
It does not mark the listing verified, because a claim tells us who you are rather than checking what is here, and those are different things. It also buys no ranking, no sorting and no placement advantage over an unclaimed venue. The moment claiming bought position this would be an advertising product rather than a directory, and the whole promise would be gone.
Something wrong here?
If you play here and this is out of date, tell us. Corrections come with a source and a date attached, the same as everything else, and a correction that changes a court count gets checked against the city record before it goes live.
