Suncourts

Suncourts are outdoor recreational facilities designed for playing sports, most commonly tennis and pickleball. They are characterized by their open-air design and typically feature a hard surface court surrounded by netting or fencing. The name "Suncourt" often implies a focus on providing an enjoyable playing experience in sunny conditions, with considerations for player comfort and visibility.

These courts are constructed using various materials, including asphalt, acrylic, or specialized cushioned surfaces, each offering different playing characteristics and durability. The dimensions and markings of a Suncourt adhere to the specific rules of the sport being played. For tennis, this includes sidelines, baselines, service lines, and a net. Pickleball courts have similar markings but are smaller in size.

Suncourts are frequently found in public parks, community centers, residential developments, and private sports clubs. Their popularity stems from the accessibility and enjoyment of playing sports in an open, natural environment. Maintenance typically involves regular cleaning to remove debris, crack repair, and sometimes resurfacing to ensure optimal playing conditions. The design also often incorporates factors like drainage to prevent water accumulation and proper lighting for extended playing hours, although the term Suncourt itself emphasizes daytime use.
