A-301Stage 01 of 03Feasibility
Plan
We study the venue and its community, then set the court mix and the numbers.
- Recommended court mix
- Financial and participation modelling
- Master plan: run-offs, fencing, lighting, access
Same location.New destination.
Tennis. Pickleball. Padel. Play your way.One club, three sports, always led by tennis. Planned, built and run by the operators behind Tennis For Kids and the National Pickleball League.
Here to play?Get the PARK app and book a court →PARK The Gap is openRead the case study→The challenge
Most tennis venues have more court than players.
Courts sit quiet outside peak, memberships get older, and the demand for pickleball and padel goes elsewhere. It isn't a tennis problem. It's a venue problem, and it can be fixed.
Quiet courts outside peak
Evenings and weekends book out. The rest of the week, courts sit empty and still cost money.
A membership getting older
Juniors drop off in their teens and fewer adults pick up the game.
Demand going elsewhere
Pickleball and padel are growing quickly, and players leave to find them.
Same footprint. More players per hour.
01 · Existing
An eight-court tennis club. Full at peak, quiet for most of the week.
02 · Marked for change
Three courts are marked for conversion. Tennis keeps five courts and its peak times.
03 · Fitted within
Three padel courts turned across one tennis court. Six pickleball courts on the next two. Fenced, lit and ready to book.
04 · Result
Fourteen courts, three sports, one club. Room for 56 players at once.
Every site is different.So is every plan.
We test layouts against your land before anything is built: court sizes and run-offs, orientation and lighting, access, and how people will use the site. The plan we recommend fits the most courts that play well.
More people on your courts, with tennis still at the centre. PARK turns underused tennis venues into tennis, pickleball and padel clubs, and can run them for you.

Here to play?
Find a PARK court near you.
Book courts, coaching and memberships at any PARK club, all in one app.
Find a court ↗Will tennis lose courts?
Tennis keeps priority and its peak times. We plan the court mix around existing members, and new sports fill the hours tennis doesn't use.
What does it cost, and who pays?
It depends on the site and the model. Every proposal sets out the investment, who funds what and the performance measures.
Who owns the venue and the members?
You keep the venue. Ownership always stays with the club, council or land owner, and how member data is held and shared is set out in each agreement.
What happens to our coaches and staff?
We plan around your existing coaches and staff wherever we can, and coaches can join the Tennis For Kids coaching pathways.
How long does it take?
It depends on approvals and build scope. Every proposal includes a timeline from site walk to opening.
What about noise?
Court positioning, fencing and barrier nets are part of every master plan, designed around neighbours and access.
Do we have to rebrand as PARK?
PARK Operated and PARK Powered clubs run under the PARK brand, and co-branding can be discussed. PARK Plan doesn't need a rebrand.
Is my site a good fit?
Usually: courts, or land to build them; lighting, or the ability to add it; and an owner, committee or council ready to explore change. Not sure? Send us the address.
