You can even create two or four pickleball courts out of a single tennis court for larger sports events.

Yes, repurposing an existing tennis or basketball court is one of the cheapest and fastest ways to get a playable pickleball space.

If the surface is cracked or uneven, resurfacing may be necessary, which adds to the cost but is still cheaper than building from scratch.

The life span of your pickleball court depends on factors like the surface material, how well it’s maintained, and your region. However, with proper maintenance, asphalt pickleball courts typically last 10 to 25 years, concrete lasts 10 to 30 years, and rubber lasts 10 to 15 years.

Regularly clean debris, fill cracks promptly, and apply protective coatings to extend surface life.
