CASE STUDY: Restoring Tulsa’s Community Parks Through Multi-Site Court Renovations
Overview
The City of Tulsa manages one of the largest and most active parks systems in Oklahoma — but many of its outdoor sports courts had gone decades without major maintenance. Surfaces were cracked, coatings were faded, and aging equipment limited safe, enjoyable play.
In 2025, Tulsa Parks partnered with Pro Track & Tennis to rehabilitate courts across six neighborhood parks, each receiving customized repair and resurfacing solutions. The coordinated effort refreshed tennis, basketball, and pickleball facilities, creating vibrant, long-lasting courts that match Tulsa’s blue-and-green park color scheme.
Project Goals
- Improve safety and playability across aging courts
- Restore proper surfacing, color, and line work
- Address cracks, structural wear, and outdated equipment
- Maintain each park’s existing court configuration
- Increase community engagement by enhancing recreational spaces

Pro Track and Tennis’s Expertise:
Interview with Steve Lassman, Capital Improvement Manager
On the condition of the courts before work began:
“A lot of these courts were heavily cracked, with faded paint and line work. Some hadn’t received attention in nearly 30 years, so they were in serious need of improvements.”
On partnering with Pro Track & Tennis:
“Pro Track & Tennis was great to work with. They addressed all of our concerns — upgrading line work, improving equipment, replacing hoops and nets — and had a great understanding of the detailed court specifications. They made the entire process easy.”
On the value to the Tulsa community:
“The difference between the old damaged courts and the new surfaces is enormous. We’ve already seen more people using them, and you can feel the renewed energy in these neighborhoods. It really feels like these parks have gotten the attention they deserve.”
On whether he would recommend Pro Track & Tennis:
“Absolutely. They did great work, were very responsive and professional, and communicated clearly from start to finish.”
Impact:
The revitalization of these six parks has:
- Increased recreational use across multiple neighborhoods
- Improved safety by eliminating cracks and failures
- Enhanced accessibility with widened gates and updated fencing
- Reinforced the city’s blue-and-green visual identity
- Extended the lifespan of each court system for years to come

Looking Ahead
The success of these six parks has laid a strong foundation for future collaborations. The City of Tulsa continues to explore ways to improve and expand its recreational facilities, and Pro Track & Tennis looks forward to supporting more of their long-term park improvement goals.
