Have a tennis court that rarely gets used? Converting it to pickleball is one of the smartest upgrades an Arizona property owner can make. Dink Pro Courts converts tennis courts to pickleball for homeowners, HOAs and communities across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale and the rest of the Valley. We repair the existing surface, resurface it, stripe regulation pickleball lines, and install nets, fencing and lighting, all with one experienced team.

Why Convert a Tennis Court to Pickleball?

How Many Pickleball Courts Fit on a Tennis Court?

A standard tennis court surface measures about 60 × 120 feet including the run-out. A pickleball court is 20 × 44 feet, with a recommended playing area of about 30 × 60 feet. Depending on your exact dimensions, fencing and how much room you want around each court, a full tennis footprint commonly fits up to four pickleball courts. Tighter or older courts may fit two or three comfortably. We confirm the best layout for your court during the site visit, and you can test options yourself in our Court Designer.

Three Ways to Convert

1. Dedicated pickleball courts

We remove the tennis lines and net posts, resurface the court and stripe dedicated pickleball courts with permanent nets. This is the best option when tennis isn’t being played anymore and you want the best pickleball experience.

2. Shared tennis and pickleball lines

We add pickleball lines on the tennis court in a contrasting color, so the court supports both games, using portable nets or a lowered center net for pickleball. It’s the flexible option for households or HOAs with players of both sports. Lines are applied with proper sport-court line paint as part of the resurfacing process, not as a DIY tape-down.

3. Full rebuild

If the existing base has failed (major cracks, heaving, settling or drainage problems), resurfacing over it won’t last. In that case we’ll tell you honestly and quote a rebuild. Courts start at $29,000 for a 54 ft x 28 ft court, with a basic net and 4 paddles included. See pickleball court installation.

Our Tennis-to-Pickleball Conversion Process

  1. Court assessment. We inspect cracks, low spots, drainage, the condition of the base and fence, and the existing surface.
  2. Layout plan. We decide the number of courts, their orientation, the spacing between them and whether to keep tennis lines, and you approve the plan before work starts.
  3. Repairs. We clean, fill and repair cracks, and level low spots so water drains off instead of ponding.
  4. Resurfacing. We apply multi-coat acrylic surfacing (standard or cushioned) in your chosen colors, using UV-stable coatings built for Arizona sun.
  5. Striping. We paint crisp, regulation pickleball lines, plus tennis lines if you’re keeping both.
  6. Nets, fencing and lighting. We install permanent or portable pickleball nets, add or update fencing and divider netting between courts, and add LED lighting if you choose it.

What Does a Tennis to Pickleball Conversion Cost?

Conversion pricing is site-specific, because the condition of your existing court drives most of the cost. The main factors:

When the base is sound, converting usually costs less than building a new court. We’ll give you a clear, itemized quote after the assessment. Financing is available from $598/mo for 60 months with excellent credit. For more on surfacing work, see our tennis court resurfacing and pickleball court resurfacing services.

Estimated rates and terms are not binding and are subject to change. Your actual APR depends on credit score, amount financed and credit history; only borrowers with excellent credit qualify for the lowest rates. All financing is subject to credit review and approval by lending partners.

Tennis Court Conversions Across Arizona

Phoenix

Phoenix homeowners and communities with older tennis courts are converting to pickleball to get more play from the same space. We assess drainage and heat-related surface wear on every Phoenix conversion. See also pickleball court installation in Phoenix.

Scottsdale and Paradise Valley

Many estate properties in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have private tennis courts that see little use. Converting them to dedicated or shared pickleball courts, often with new lighting, brings them back to life. See Scottsdale pickleball court construction and Paradise Valley backyard courts.

Glendale and the West Valley

From single backyard courts to HOA community courts, we convert tennis courts throughout Glendale, Peoria and the West Valley.

Tennis Court to Pickleball Conversion in Scottsdale

Scottsdale has a lot of older private and community tennis courts, many built decades ago in neighborhoods like McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch and on larger estate lots. Plenty of them now see more pickleball interest than tennis. A conversion usually follows one of these paths:

For community and HOA courts, we can provide the layout drawing, surface colors and noise-related considerations the board will want to review. For homes, we also look at whether to keep part of the court for tennis.

If the old base has failed, a new build may be the better route. See pickleball court construction in Scottsdale. If the existing surface only needs a refresh, see pickleball court resurfacing.

A recoat refreshes the acrylic color and lines on a court whose base is sound, and pickleball lines can be added in a contrasting color at the same time so tennis stays playable. A full conversion goes further, with crack and low-spot repair, a new surface, dedicated pickleball lines and new nets. If the base has failed, neither option will last and we will price a rebuild. We recommend one after inspecting the court.
