Practical Information

Best Times to Play

Evenings from 5 to 7 PM draw the largest crowds; arriving early or booking a reservation helps. Saturday mornings fill up fast. Summer players are better off coming before 10 AM to beat the heat.

Location & Access

The center sits in downtown Austin and is reachable by public transit, bike, or on foot. Parking is available on site for court users.

Playing Tips

Hard courts heat up quickly in summer, so morning sessions are the most comfortable. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and enough water for daytime play.
