High school abandoned tennis courts

Tucked between a high school and elementary school on the west side of A Street in Hawthorne, Nevada, this single outdoor concrete pickleball court is a community-improvised solution on an otherwise abandoned tennis facility. Lines have been applied with yellow chalk and reinforced with duct tape along the outer edges, while the existing steel-fencing net with a steel cable center sits at approximately 35 inches — playable by standard measures. The concrete base is described as decent despite the court's neglected state, which includes nearly vanished original painted lines and encroaching weeds. Timing matters here: early weekday mornings before 8:45 a.m. during the school year tend to offer the best experience, as desert winds typically pick up by afternoon. Access is public and free.
