Technical Analysis & Specification

Municipalities facing skyrocketing pickleball demand frequently repurpose underutilized tennis courts. A standard tennis court enclosure measures 60 by 120 feet (7,200 sq ft). When converting: Option A provides two generous pickleball courts positioned north-south, leaving a luxurious 10-foot center walkway and 8-foot side buffers. Option B fits four regulation courts (two on each side of the existing tennis net line), creating an instant 4x capacity surge. Option B requires installing 4-foot high temporary or permanent chainlink divider fences between the courts to manage ball crossover in high-intensity open play.
