In the mood for a dink? Soon, Austin residents will have a new luxury pickleball facility nearby where they can do just that.
Pickleball has exploded in recent years, and fans in Austin won't have long to wait before a new luxury complex will offer new courts and a sports lounge.
A recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation reveals construction plans for an $11.3 million entertainment district in Bee Cave, which will include courts designed specifically for pickleball, tennis and badminton.

The complex will be located at 5001 Palermo Dr., about 20 miles west of Austin.
Standard-sized pickleball and badminton courts are 880 square feet, and filings indicate the court space will occupy more than 4,000 square feet, meaning the venue could be home to as many as four courts.
In addition to a sports lounge and courts, the 35,000-square-foot entertainment district will also host retailers, medical offices and “luxury eateries with a sensory experience,” according to the developer’s website.
