If you haven’t jumped on the pickleball bandwagon yet, don’t worry - it’s only a matter of time. The fastest-growing sport in America has completely taken over Austin, now officially crowned the nation’s pickleball capital. With over 8,000 active players, 32 courts, and Major League Pickleball in town, this tennis/ping pong/badminton hybrid is having its moment.

The stats don’t lie: Austin’s courts are 92% booked, nearly 3,500 locals are part of the Austin Metro Pickleball Association, and the sport is growing at a jaw-dropping 125% year-over-year. Even big tech companies are getting in on the fun, adding pickleball courts to their campuses.

So where can you get in on the action without a country club membership or belonging to a private community? We’ve got you covered with the best public spots to serve, rally, and smash in Lake Travis.
