Round Rock marked another milestone in the Old Settlers Park expansion with the official opening of new pickleball courts at the Adult Recreation Complex.
What you need to know
The new facility includes lighted courts, shade structures, seating areas and a hitting wall, along with expanded parking and improved pedestrian access.
Court layouts are designed to reduce scheduling conflicts between tennis and pickleball users while supporting both recreational play and tournament use.
City officials have said relocating the courts allowed for modernized surfacing and improved drainage, while minimizing disruption to players during construction.
The context
The $17 million project, funded through the 2023 voter-approved parks bond, relocates and upgrades the park’s existing tennis facilities while adding dedicated pickleball courts to meet growing demand.
The tennis and pickleball complex had been slated for completion this spring.
What’s next
While several pieces of the Old Settlers Park expansion are now open to the public, major construction remains underway.
Work continues on the $59.6 million Multipurpose Complex expansion, which will add six additional fields and new amenities to increase capacity for both local leagues and regional tournaments.
The Rock’N River water park expansion, including a new action river and added parking, is expected to open in 2026.
Construction on the Athletic Performance Center—which will feature an indoor gym, outdoor track, multipurpose fields and Parks and Recreation administrative offices—is projected to conclude in 2027.
