I also loved how much outdoor seating they had throughout the place along with TVs everywhere outside so you can still catch the game while hanging out. Besides pickleball, they had cornhole, ping pong, Jenga, Battleship, and other games which made it a fun spot for all ages. They also have a restaurant and bar with lots of food and drink options. The only downside was my daughter's meal and drink. She ordered a bowl that wasn't what she expected, and her drink had Tajín around the rim which made it taste too salty for her liking. The wings were really good though. What stood out most was how the waiter and manager handled it. They were very accommodating, removed the food from the bill, and replaced her drink without any issues. Overall, we had a really good experience and would give it another try.

Thank you for having tents and misters! The ambience is spot-on. Overall, we were happy with everything that we ordered to eat. The buffalo cauliflower bites were a bit too saucy, but nice and smoky. The CM Chopped Salad--which was NOT chopped--had a ton of good veggies and a fun dressing. Our daughter managed to finagle two orders of chicken fingers and those were slightly better than the normal junk that comes out. Cold beers on tap, Aperol Spritzes on a hot day--what is there to complain about? We were glad to be leaving when we did because the place was starting to get slammed and rowdy and not as appealing, so be mindful of the partying witching hour.

We're not too sure how busy it gets here but would still recommend reserving anyways. The parking lot out front is pretty tiny but we got lucky with a spot, just expect to circle once or twice if needed. The inside is very nice and so was the front desk person. Reserving was a tad tricky online but check-in was a breeze. They do offer both indoor and outdoor courts so keep that in mind when you book for options sake. The courts themselves are great. Very clean and well maintained with a side area for bags or anything you don't want on your person. The whole vibe of this place is very Austin, in a good way. They have an upstairs area where it looks like you can hang out as well as ping pong tables out front. This feels like a very community driven place if we've ever seen one. Eastside Paddle Club is a great place to reserve a court and play some pickleball and if not for living up near The Domain this would probably be our go to spot. If you're in the East Austin area and unsure about where to start your pickleball journey then look no further. This is the place to go!

Overlook Park & Canyon Dam

Overlook Park and Dam at Canyon Lake (about 50-60ish miles from both Austin and San Antonio) is the…read morepublic park I visit most often since joining the CL community in June 2020. At least a couple of times per month, we make our weekend run over the dam from North Park and bask in the seasonal beauty of the big blue lake, the variety of plants on the slopes and forest, and the joy of other visitors taking it all in. Who knows how long it will last in these troubled times for public works, but today, the park remains free to enter from dawn to dusk. The enforcement of parking and capacity limits is by Comal County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), while the authority for the water and 1964-built dam falls on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Game Wardens, and the Guadalupe - Blanco River Authority (GBRA). Finally, the Water Oriented Recreation District (WORD) helps with safety signage and waste management around the park by providing free litter bags to make it as easy as possible for visitors to pack out their trash. The park technically doesn't promote swim access, and there is no lifeguard or buoy barrier system for protected swim zones, but you will see many swimmers and floaters in the cold water around the rocky shore during warm weather. The closer to the dam you are, the more likely you'll see fish swimming in the clear water, so bring your snorkel and enjoy. Keep in mind, depth drops off steeply down to 120 feet, so if you're not a strong swimmer, a life vest or other safety provisions may be in order. Certainly, keep an eye on your kids at all times. If you want a coveted spot for the day at the shoreline, you're going to need to plan ahead. Pack up your provisions, chairs, shade tent, what-have-you and get to the park as soon as possible after dawn to secure a parking spot. You'll need your goat feet and maybe an all-terrain wagon to get down the rocky trails to your place at the water. The shore is entirely limestone, so you typically won't be able to use stakes for a pop-up; plan to weigh down with something else, as Canyon Lake gets VERY windy. Restrooms are at the far southeast end of the park, near the Gorge overlook. You'll also find porto-johns near the dam gate and disabled parking spots. If you're still there by sunset, you'll hear the sheriff's deputy over a PA system asking you to leave. There is no camping or overnight parking allowed. Note that this park is also home to USACE headquarters for Canyon Lake. Their visitor center is open Mon-Fri, 8a-4:30p except for federal holidays. A few times per year, special events may open up an opportunity to drive across the dam's paved path (a.k.a. the Verada Real). These spots are secured through a charitable donation to the DAM Community Alliance (damcommunityalliance.com) and tend to sell out fast. Otherwise, only pedestrians, strollers, and bicycles are allowed on the paved path. Dogs should be on leash and poop should be picked up, please, for the love of all that is holy. More to come....

It's like the county government, in coordination with the Army Corp. of Engineers has decided that they just don't want people here. First it was erecting "no parking signs" on the road and handing out tickets by the sheriffs department. Then they installed tire flattener spikes at the exit and gate barriers so that access was restricted. They had the sheriffs department come in every night to throw people out at sunset. We used to call that person the "Dam Nazi" (Canyon Dam). Now they close the place early even before hours are over and sometimes they don't open it at all. And worst of all they've started lining tow trucks up to tow people's cars at sunset without warning. It's ridiculous. It's like they are practicing for totalitarianism. It's like the government has decided that they hate people. My daughter and son-in-law walked the over-the-dam walkway with our 3-year-old granddaughter; when they came back to leave, his pick-up truck was in the air - the tow truck driver said he would take $150 to lower it again so they could drive home. People are literally starting to move out of Comal County. It has become downright evil and the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority seems to be getting rich by selling all of Canyon Lake's water downstream. This is the rural version of Los Angeles, Seattle or Denver. It's getting nasty.

I've been a frequent, paying customer at The Courthouse and truly want to see this facility succeed, but unfortunately our experiences have been consistently frustrating. Communication has been very poor, and the overall organization feels extremely disorganized. Operations never seem to be on the same page. Each visit brings a different explanation, different rules, or confusion about scheduling. It often feels like there is no clear system in place. One of the biggest ongoing issues is overbooking the courts. Multiple times we've shown up with confirmed reservations, only to find the courts double-booked or reassigned. On top of that, staff frequently lose track of who has paid, which results in delays and cuts into our reserved playing time. When you're paying for court time to play pickleball, losing even 10-15 minutes due to internal confusion is incredibly frustrating. What's most disappointing is that despite being repeat customers, our group has felt unfairly targeted or scrutinized compared to others. We've tried to be patient and understanding, but after multiple visits with the same issues, it's hard not to feel singled out. We continue to come back because we enjoy the facility itself and the game, but the ongoing operational and communication problems make it difficult to recommend. I sincerely hope management takes steps to improve organization, ensure accurate bookings, and create a more consistent and respectful experience for all paying customers. read more

They also let freebie people "migrate" to the paid Cabanas between Cabanas #2 & #3 to "freeload". Not a good thing as Cabana #2 had a grill but "free loaders" with scuba gear took over the table & blocked the grill off, so you can't use it, a waste of paid Cabana # 2 rental.

Plus, there were No lifeguards on duty (I almost drowned last year when the chute pushed me to the 40 foot bottom!). Lots of people drown there each year & they cover it up by saying nothing!!!!
