Georgetown-Leander Partners to Build Nine Outdoor Pickleball Courts North of Austin

A new purpose-built outdoor pickleball complex that will deliver nine courts was announced Feb. 25, 2026 for the Georgetown/Leander area north of Austin. The joint development comes from local recreation planners working with private partners and is explicitly billed as an expansion of regional court capacity.

The project is a collaboration between municipal recreation planners and private-sector partners; organizers described the effort as a joint development focused on meeting demand for dedicated outdoor play. The development team intends the complex to be a purpose-built facility rather than an ad hoc conversion of tennis courts, and the nine outdoor courts are the central feature of the plan.

Georgetown and Leander were identified as the target corridor for the new courts, positioning the complex north of Austin to serve players who currently travel across the metro area for outdoor courts. The announcement emphasized the site selection in the Georgetown/Leander corridor, although specific parcel addresses and construction timelines were not released in the initial Feb. 25 statement.

Planners and private partners framed the nine-court complex as a regional capacity measure, noting that the project is intended to expand outdoor court availability across the north Austin suburbs. The emphasis on a dedicated outdoor complex underscores a shift in local planning priorities toward purpose-built pickleball facilities rather than temporary or mixed-use court conversions.

The Feb. 25 announcement highlighted the nine courts as the core deliverable; project backers characterized the development as a coordinated effort between local recreation management and private investment. Details about funding sources, permits, contractor selection, and an expected opening date were not included in the initial release, with organizers indicating that those elements will be developed as the joint project moves from planning toward implementation.

With the Georgetown/Leander complex planned to add nine outdoor courts, the development aims to provide tangible court capacity north of Austin. The announcement on Feb. 25, 2026 establishes the framework for a public-private approach to expanding outdoor pickleball infrastructure in the region and sets the nine-court complex as the next major facility under consideration for the north Austin corridor.
