The math every club and HOA eventually runs: one 60' × 120' tennis pad holds four regulation 20' × 44' pickleball courts — and conversion costs a fraction of new construction because the expensive part (the slab) already exists.
Three ways to convert
- Full conversion — four courts. Repair, resurface, and stripe four courts with new nets. The highest-capacity outcome: 16 players where 4 used to be.
- One centered court. Stripe a single pickleball court over the tennis layout using a portable or lowered net — the light-touch option.
- Blended lines. Keep tennis, add pickleball lines in a contrasting quieter color. Both games survive; expect some visual noise.
2026 conversion pricing
- Blended lines only (sound surface): $600–$1,500
- One-court conversion with resurface: $4,000–$7,000
- Full four-court conversion (resurface, stripe, 4 nets): $10,000–$18,000
- With significant crack repair: add $2,000–$6,000
What decides the price
Slab condition. A sound pad needs cleaning, minor repair, resurfacer, color, and lines. A cracked pad needs the cracks bridged first — see the crack repair guide — or they reappear through your new courts in a season. Net posts are the other line item: permanent four-court setups need new footers cut into the slab.
Colors do the heavy lifting
Four courts on one pad read clearly when the playing areas contrast with the surrounds — try layouts in the Court Designer. Dimension details are in the pickleball dimensions guide.
