Pickleball and Tennis Courts in Sienna: Full Location Guide

If you tried to book a pickleball slot at Club Sienna in July, you already know the problem. Four courts, one location, and a community pushing past 11,000 households competing for the same reservation window. That math changed on August 10, when Sienna opened new courts at two locations at once, and the numbers are worth sitting with before you open the app to book your next game.

Pickleball capacity across the community didn't just grow. It tripled, from four courts to twelve. Tennis grew too, but by a smaller margin, from eight courts to fourteen. That gap between a 200 percent jump and a 75 percent jump tells you something the press release didn't say outright: whoever set the build order at Sienna Community Association looked at how the original courts were actually getting used and corrected hard in one direction.

The Original Ratio Didn't Match How People Were Playing

When Club Sienna's racquet complex went in at 9600 Scanlan Trace, it shipped with eight lighted tennis courts and four pickleball courts, a two-to-one split that made sense when tennis was the default racquet sport in most master-planned communities. That ratio held for years. It's also the kind of ratio you don't correct by tripling one category and only bumping the other by three-quarters unless the original split had stopped matching demand.

The correction landed in two separate builds. Sawmill Lake Club, off Mount Logan, added six new tennis courts. Sienna Community Park, at 200 Waters Lake Blvd, added eight new pickleball courts. A construction permit filed for the project, listed under the name Sienna Sawmill Rec Ph 5 Park, put the cost at $2.1 million and specified the scope: tennis court installation, shade structures, concrete sidewalks, and landscaping across more than 150,000 square feet.

Where to Actually Go Now

The expansion didn't consolidate anything. It spread capacity across three physical addresses, which means where you live inside Sienna now has more bearing on which courts make sense for you than it did in July.

If you're in Sawmill Lake, Sienna Oaks, or Summerlake House, the new Sawmill Lake Club tennis courts are the closer option. If you're anywhere near the original villages, Anderson Springs, Avalon, Bees Creek, Shipman's Landing, Steep Bank East, Steep Bank West, or Waters Lake, Community Park's new pickleball courts sit right in that geographic cluster.

Booking Works the Same Way at Every Location

The reservation system itself didn't change with the expansion, which is the one piece of good news if you already had the app figured out. Courts at all three locations book through the Sienna App, up to 48 hours in advance, same rules whether you're reserving a tennis court at Club Sienna or a pickleball court that opened three weeks ago at Community Park.

That uniformity matters more than it sounds like it should. A 48-hour window across a tripled court inventory means the scarcity that made July bookings frustrating should ease considerably, since you're now spreading demand across twelve pickleball courts instead of four. Whether it actually eases in practice depends on how quickly word spreads that Community Park has courts at all. Early adopters usually get the easy bookings.

The Part of the Launch That Isn't Finished Yet

The August 10 announcement bundled in two more items that have nothing to do with racquet sports: the Sienna Oaks Lap Pool and outdoor basketball courts, both now open at Sienna Oaks. What's notable is what's still missing from that same site. The broader Sienna Oaks Amenity Center, first announced with a full build-out plan, is still under construction. Recreation opened first. The social infrastructure is coming later.

When it's finished, the clubhouse portion will include:

• A café and multi-use room
• A dedicated tween hangout space
• Outdoor patio seating
• A large event lawn for resident gatherings
• A playground

So if you were expecting the full clubhouse experience at Sienna Oaks this fall, the honest read is that you get the pool and the half-court now, and the café where you'd actually sit down afterward is still being built. That's a normal sequencing choice for a phased amenity rollout, but it's worth knowing before you plan a morning around a coffee stop that isn't open yet.

If You Also Play Outside the HOA System

Sienna's court network isn't the only option in the area. Missouri City runs its own recreation program, separate from the HOA, with three indoor pickleball courts inside its recreation center gym and three more outdoors. It's open to the public rather than restricted to Sienna residents, which makes it a reasonable overflow option on weekends when even a tripled court count at Community Park fills up fast. Worth keeping in your back pocket if you're the type who plays daily and the app shows nothing available in your 48-hour window.

What This Actually Changes If You Live Here

The headline number is the tripling, and it's real. But the more useful takeaway is that Sienna's amenity growth isn't following a single pattern anymore. It's not one big center getting bigger. It's targeted additions landing at different addresses based on what the data apparently showed about how courts were being used, then a separate, slower build for the social spaces that don't show up in a court count.

If you've been putting off pickleball because Club Sienna's four courts felt impossible to book, that excuse is gone. If you've been waiting on Sienna Oaks to feel like a finished neighborhood hub, that wait continues a little longer. Both things are true at once, and knowing which one applies to what you're actually trying to do this month is the difference between a productive Saturday morning and a wasted trip to a courtyard that isn't open yet.

Sienna keeps adding to itself in ways that reward residents who pay attention to the details buried in association updates rather than the marketing photos. That's true of pickleball courts, and it's just as true when you're trying to understand what a listing price actually reflects or what a specific village's HOA assessment covers before you make an offer.
