Build a Pickleball Court in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Bringing pickleball to Cambridge?
We plan, build, and customize courts for backyards, schools, clubs, and city parks—tuned to Cambridge permits, dense urban lots, and four-season New England weather so your surface plays true year-round. We coordinate building applications with Cambridge Inspectional Services and handle the submittals they require.
We also design bases and drainage that respect local stormwater rules. Outdoor projects are aligned with the City’s Stormwater Management Plan and MS4 responsibilities and, when applicable, the MassDEP Stormwater Standards/Handbook for long-term performance and compliance. If your site is near wetlands or floodplain along the Charles, we prepare filings with the Cambridge Conservation Commission under the Wetlands Protection Act.
Why Choose Local Pickleball Court Builders
Local specialists move quickly and design for Cambridge realities—tight footprints, neighbor-friendly lighting, freeze–thaw durability, and coastal storm events. We build to USA Pickleball specs: regulation play lines 20′ × 44′, a recommended north–south orientation, and correct pad size/slope for drainage.
We handle:
Custom courts for residential, commercial, and community sites
Installations on asphalt or post-tensioned concrete, with engineered sub-base and drainage per state/city guidance
Full conversions from tennis/basketball to dedicated or blended pickleball layouts
Durable coating systems chosen for year-round Massachusetts use
Services for Every Stage
Whether you’re starting fresh or improving an existing court, we offer:
Court Construction & Installation
We map utilities, set grades for runoff, compact the base, install premium surfacing, and stripe to regulation—sequenced to match Cambridge permitting and, where relevant, Conservation filing/approval steps.
Pickleball Court Painting, Court Resurfacing, & Repairs
Cold snaps, UV, and heavy play can lead to cracks, color fade, and puddling. We restore consistency with crack routing/sealing, low-spot leveling, color recoats, and precise re-striping—methods consistent with USA Pickleball construction guidance.
Backyard and Commercial Court Solutions
Backyard builds boost daily play. For clubs, schools, and rec programs, multi-court layouts support lessons, leagues, and events—plus add-ons like fencing, windscreens, divider nets, benches, and low-glare LED lighting. If your project disturbs soil or adds impervious area, we align documentation with MassDEP and Cambridge MS4 expectations.

Pickleball demand is rising in Cambridge—the City lists multiple shared tennis/pickleball sites (including Hoyt Field, CRLS/War Memorial, and Green-Rose Heritage Park), and community proposals have highlighted upgrades to existing lined courts behind the War Memorial near Joan Lorenz Park. Meeting this interest calls for smart execution: a stable base and drainage sized for local storms, pro-grade surfacing, and regulation-accurate striping (playing lines 20′ × 44′, with a preferred north–south orientation for sun control).
Cambridge’s New England climate—freeze–thaw winters and hot, wet summers—can accelerate wear on outdoor surfaces. A preventative care plan keeps courts consistent: periodic color recoats, crack routing and sealing, low-spot leveling to eliminate puddling, and precise re-striping to maintain visibility and bounce. Local reporting on freeze–thaw damage and national construction guidance underscore why routine maintenance matters just as much as initial build quality.
Whether you’re creating new play space, converting under-used tennis or basketball courts, or refreshing existing surfaces, Cambridge offers clear opportunities to expand access. Pairing sound construction with scheduled upkeep ensures safe, reliable courts for neighborhood players, school programs, and leagues across the city.
