Town of Chapel Hill, NC
Home MenuCourt Use Guidelines
Based on community response and staff evaluation of our recent shared-use pickleball pilot program, the town has developed a plan to increase outdoor public pickleball courts.
Parks and recreation staff will continue to evaluate and update schedules as necessary.
Court use Guidance (updated Spring 2023)
· Temporary pickleball lines will remain on tennis court #4 until permanent blended/dual lines are added later this spring.
· Tennis players have priority at all times on all tennis courts. if tennis court #4 is unused for tennis, it may be used for pickleball.
· Pickleball players must immediately vacate the court if tennis players wish to utilize it.
Court use Etiquette (updated Spring 2023)
· Courts should be utilized based on posted time limits.
· Tennis players currently have priority on all tennis courts until the evaluation period ends and a new priority schedule is posted.
· Never walk behind a court when a point is still in play. Wait until the point is over, and then cross as fast as possible.
· Never ask players to move from a court in which they have priority.
· Anyone can utilize shared courts until a player from the sport with priority time arrives; at that time, players should relinquish the court immediately.
· Tennis players should seek to fill tennis courts #1-3 first and pickleball players should seek to fill pickleball courts #1-6 first prior to either group utilizing tennis court #4.
