Adult Pickleball Open Play is now offered Monday - Friday from 8:30 - 11:30 AM, at the San Marcos Activity Center for ages 18 and up. We have six courts for Pickleball, which has allowed us to designate three courts as competitive courts and three courts as recreation courts. This has helped us accommodate our growing number of advanced and beginner level Pickleball players. Pickleball is a cross between badminton, tennis and ping-pong. It is played on a badminton-sized court 20 ft. by 44 ft. with paddles, a wiffle ball and a net that is lowered to 34 inches. Players volley the ball back and forth to try to score on the opposition. Pickleball is free for Activity Center members. Non-members are charged the daily use rate of $6.00 for adults 18 to 60, $3.00 for ages 60 and above. For more information, call 512.393.8280.

Stop by and check out our new program, 60+ Indoor Cornhole. Cornhole is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags, instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their bags at the platform until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Benefits of playing Cornhole for Senior Citizens include mobility and leg strength, depth perception and vision, and balance and hip mobility. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to this sport, join us every month for 60+ Indoor Cornhole at the San Marcos Activity Center. 60+ indoor Cornhole will take place at 2:00 PM on Thursday, February 23, and Thursday, March 16, 2023.
