Round Rock, Texas

The Round Rock Sports Center is undergoing a significant expansion that will add a second Amazon store alongside new sports facilities, with completion expected by early 2026. This construction milestone was marked recently with the installation of tilt walls, setting the stage for enhanced recreational opportunities in the region.

The expansion will introduce two additional basketball courts that can be converted into four volleyball courts, raising the total court count to eight within the Sports Center. This development aims to meet the growing demand from local teams and clubs while also attracting larger regional and national sporting events.

Enhanced Facilities and Features

In addition to the new courts, the expansion will include championship court seating, a secondary entrance, and more parking spaces. The Sports Center remains fully operational during the construction, which is appreciated by the local community devoted to various sports activities.

Investment and Development Projects

This expansion is part of a broader $274 million bond package approved by Round Rock voters in May 2023, which encompasses multiple projects aimed at enhancing quality of life, recreation, and sports in the area. The bond will also fund improvements to the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex, where five new synthetic fields, one natural grass field, and collegiate-level press boxes are planned for completion by 2027.

Meeting Demand for Playtime

The current state of the Round Rock Sports Center indicates a significant demand for playtime, as the facility currently offers 276 hours of playtime weekly but receives requests for up to 340 hours. Similarly, the Multipurpose Complex has 112 hours available weekly while facing requests for 183 hours. The upcoming expansions will aim to alleviate this shortage, providing more opportunities for both local sports enthusiasts and visiting teams.

Future Sports Hub

Once all the construction projects are completed, Old Settlers Park and the Multipurpose Complex are expected to feature 27 sports fields within a quarter mile. This will further solidify Round Rock’s status as a major destination for sporting events, boasting facilities capable of hosting a variety of games and tournaments.

Over the past 11 years of operation, the Round Rock Sports Center has successfully hosted approximately 75 multi-day sporting events, including prestigious national table tennis and fencing competitions. The increased demand for court space has prompted the current expansion, which is seen as vital for the continued growth of sports facilities in the region.

Supporting Local and National Events

The Division Manager of Sports Facilities and Operations in Round Rock, Brian Stillman, has highlighted how the expansion will benefit local clubs and enhance the city’s ability to host major tournaments. The additional facilities are expected to strengthen Round Rock’s reputation as “The Sports Capital of Texas.” This status not only supports local athletes but also attracts visitors from outside the area, contributing to the local economy and sports culture.

As construction continues, the Round Rock community eagerly anticipates the enhancements that the Sports Center and Multipurpose Complex will bring, further promoting an active and engaged lifestyle for residents and visitors alike.
