Learn how you can make more money from your public tennis or pickleball courts.
Parks and recreational departments play a crucial role in providing communities with accessible and enjoyable recreational activities, and tennis courts are one popular amenity. Many of the parks and recreation leaders are challenged to generate revenue and make their courts accessible to everyone. We understand the conundrum and think that there is a solution to all of it where you can actually make more money and still have your courts be accessible to your community.
Imagine It – Self Service Revenue
Your community goes to your court, scans a QR code, finds out what is happening on the courts that day and then can book a court for a small fee. They can access the court by using a code to unlock it and boom – play away! It’s a win for you – you not only get paid for it, but you can see your court utilization and from there, you can market to your players to increase utilization even more!
5 Reasons Why You Should Maximize Profit
Not convinced? Here are some reasons why we think maximizing profit with booking tennis courts is important
1. Financial Sustainability:
We get it, Parks and recreation departments typically operate on limited budgets, and generating revenue from tennis court bookings can help offset the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the facilities. By maximizing profits, the department can ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the park and its amenities, including tennis courts. You look good, your tennis courts look good.
2. Facility Maintenance and Improvement:
You know the deal, tennis courts require regular maintenance, such as resurfacing, cleaning, and equipment repairs. By generating higher profits, the park can allocate more funds towards maintaining and improving the tennis courts, ensuring they remain in good condition and provide a positive experience for visitors.
3. Expanded Access and Availability:
By maximizing profit, you can invest in expanding your tennis court facilities. This may involve building additional courts, improving lighting, converting a tennis court to pickleball all of which can increase the availability and accessibility of tennis courts to the community. More court availability means more people can enjoy the sport, leading to healthier and more active communities.
4. Program Development:
Generating profits from tennis court bookings can allow parks and recreation departments to develop and offer a wider range of programs and services. These can include tennis lessons, tournaments, leagues, camps, and community events, which not only enhance the overall experience for tennis enthusiasts but also attract new participants and promote community engagement.
5. Community Impact:
Parks and recreational facilities serve as important gathering spaces for community members, fostering social connections and promoting a sense of belonging. Maximizing profit from tennis court bookings can enable the department to invest in additional amenities such as seating areas, shade structures, or landscaping, enhancing the overall ambiance and attractiveness of the park. This, in turn, can encourage more people to visit, socialize, and enjoy the recreational opportunities available.
