Pinebrook Park's tennis courts were rebuilt as four dedicated pickleball courts, opened in May 2025.
What changed
The work at Pinebrook started in the second half of 2024. The existing tennis courts were taken out and reconstructed, which freed up space to expand the park's parking lot and add a new stormwater pond, a common pairing in Florida park projects where drainage and parking are part of the same plan. The City of Pinellas Park coated the new court surface in April 2025, and the courts were ready for play in May, with a grand opening that month.
The result is four dedicated pickleball courts on a clean acrylic surface, with light poles for evening play. The conversion from tennis to dedicated pickleball follows a pattern across Pinellas County, where demand for pickleball has pushed cities to either build new courts or repurpose older tennis courts that were not getting much use. St. Pete Catalyst documented the wider trend in its look at how pickleball took over Pinellas in 2025, and county and city parks departments, including Pinellas County Parks, have leaned into it.
For players, the trade-off is real but mostly positive. Pinellas Park lost a set of tennis courts that were lightly used, and gained four pickleball courts that fill up. If you are a tennis player in the area, it is worth knowing that the nearest public tennis is now at other parks rather than Pinebrook.
Note
A note on the address. Pinebrook Park is operated by the City of Pinellas Park at 7202 118th Avenue North. Some map listings place it under nearby Largo, so if you are searching, use the Pinellas Park address to be sure you have the right park.
The courts
There are four pickleball courts, all dedicated to pickleball rather than shared with tennis, which means no portable nets or shared lines to work around. They are lighted, with lights available until 11pm, and they are free and first-come. Parking was part of the rebuild, so there is room to leave the car.
