★★★★★Fernando PowellI stopped by the South Austin Recreation Center for some pickleball and found the atmosphere quite inviting. The staff was attentive right from the start—one employee took the time to explain how to reserve a court online, which I appreciated since it made the process straightforward. I noticed that they had separate areas for beginners and more advanced players, which helped create a comfortable environment without any pressure. The courts were air-conditioned, making it pleasant to play even with the heat outside. During my visit, I also had a chance to chat with other players who shared tips and welcomed me into their games. It felt like a community where everyone could enjoy themselves, regardless of skill level. While there could be more evening slots available for casual play, my experience was quite positive overall.
★★★★Jess BrooksCourts could definitely use some TLC. Clinic instructors have all been great. Very welcoming to beginner and advanced players. U can book online which is super convenient.
★★★★★Sue GinsburgI love playing pickleball here! It's a friendly crowd, and the employees are helpful when you need help. It's a good location. It is also where I vote---which is always well organized with volunteers who know what they're doing and are super helpful. Parking is easy either in the lot or on the street. If there were more evening time slots to play indoor pickleball , that would be terrific. It's a good experience going to SARC!
★★★★★Samart KNice and well maintained indoor basketball courts. Staffs are friendly and helpful
★★★★Whitney MainFour indoor courts, air conditioned. Good place to play pickleball and escape the heat. 2 courts good competition players. 2 courts beginner-ish players. Lots of fun. No drama.
