Build a Pickleball Court in New York City, New York
Bringing a court to life in NYC?
We deliver end-to-end design, permitting, construction, and customization for backyards, rooftops, schools, clubs, and community parks—built to perform in the five boroughs and to satisfy City requirements. From first concept to final striping, you’ll have one accountable pro guiding the process.
Why Choose Local Pickleball Court Builders
Local experience matters here. We file and track jobs through DOB NOW, plan drainage to meet the City’s Unified Stormwater Rule, and design with flood-resilient details where Appendix G applies. For outdoor sites, we also account for zoning rules about directing lighting away from nearby residences.
We handle:
Custom courts for residential, commercial, and community sites
Installation on asphalt or post-tensioned concrete with engineered sub-base and drainage sized for NYC rainfall events
Conversions of underused tennis/basketball pads into dedicated or blended pickleball layouts
Low-maintenance coating systems specified for NYC’s seasonal heat, freeze–thaw, and heavy play
Services for Every Stage
Whether you’re starting fresh or improving an existing court, we offer:
Court Construction & Installation
We manage utility mark-outs, grading, compaction, drainage, surfacing, and precision striping. When required, we prepare plan sets for DOB review and align stormwater measures (e.g., on-site retention/bioretention) with the City’s current guidance.
Pickleball Court Painting, Court Resurfacing, & Repairs
Urban wear—UV, ponding after downpours, and year-round traffic—can lead to cracks, fading, and slick spots. Our resurfacing program (crack routing/sealing, low-spot leveling, color recoats, and accurate re-striping) restores consistent traction and bounce without a full rebuild.
Backyard and Commercial Court Solutions
From single-court private builds to multi-court complexes for lessons and league play, we can add fencing, divider nets, benches, windscreens, and low-glare LED lighting planned to respect nearby residences and meet zoning intent. Need scheduled access at public parks while you build? We’ll help you navigate NYC Parks’ field/court permitting.

NYC demand keeps climbing. From the 14-court CityPickle setup at Central Park’s Wollman Rink to busy neighborhood hubs like McCarren Park (Brooklyn) and Astoria Park (Queens), play has surged across all five boroughs—and NYC Parks now lists dozens of public locations citywide. Pop-ups and dedicated venues are expanding capacity each season, reflecting how quickly the sport has scaled in the city.
Design for the city, not the suburbs. Great urban courts start with thoughtful siting (managing glare and shadow between buildings), engineered drainage sized for New York’s intense rain events, and stable base construction that tolerates freeze–thaw cycles. Outdoor projects also benefit from lighting plans that respect adjacent residences and park use. Where permits apply, aligning drawings and stormwater measures with current NYC rules keeps projects moving.
Keep surfaces game-ready year-round. NYC weather and heavy traffic accelerate wear: micro-cracking, color fade, ponding, and slick spots. A proactive care cycle—crack routing and sealing, low-spot leveling, color recoats, and accurate re-striping—preserves traction and bounce without a full rebuild. Sites within mapped flood areas should also account for the city’s flood-resistant construction requirements during upgrades.
Build new or convert—NYC has paths for both. Whether you’re carving out a rooftop or courtyard court, converting underused tennis/basketball pads, or resurfacing aging pavement, the city offers practical avenues to expand access. With participation rising and public/club options multiplying, investing in solid construction and scheduled maintenance ensures reliable, fun play for beginners, league regulars, and event hosts alike.
