Avon High School: eight tennis and five pickleball courts in purple and gray

Purple is not a color many courts are painted, and it should not be: dark colors run hot and show wear. Avon High School wanted its color, and we wanted the courts to last, so the purple went inside the lines, where the game is, and a light gray went on the surround, where the heat and the foot traffic are. The courts read as purple from the stands and play cooler than a solid dark court would.

Eight tennis courts and five pickleball courts, with the pickleball lines in a contrasting color on the shared courts, new net posts, and black vinyl-coated fence to match. Underneath it was a standard resurfacing done properly: cracks bridged so they do not print through, an acrylic resurfacer, two color coats and new lines.
