Rosewood Neighborhood Park

Rosewood Neighborhood Park is a community staple in East Austin, located on Rosewood Avenue near the historically significant Rosewood neighborhood. The park has 4 outdoor pickleball courts — 2 with permanent nets and 2 where you'll need to bring your own. It's a good idea to call ahead or check Austin Parks & Rec schedules to confirm current net availability.

The courts draw a casual to intermediate crowd from the surrounding East Austin neighborhoods, including players from Chestnut, Govalle, and MLK areas. Because East Austin has grown dramatically in recent years, Rosewood has become a convenient option for a lot of newer residents looking for free outdoor courts without making the drive to larger facilities.

The park has restrooms, a playground, picnic areas, and walking trails. Parking is free. No reservation required — first-come, first-served. Weekday mornings tend to be the quietest, while weekend afternoons can get busy. Bring your own net for the 2 unmarked courts to guarantee you can play regardless of what's available.
