Using the tennis singles lines the width of a tennis court is 27' while a PB court is 20' or 3 1/2' wider on each side. With most PB players this isn't a major issue.

And I "heard" that they are considering doing this at Churchill rec center, as there are only four PB courts next to nearly mostly empty tennis courts. The idea is that if people came to play tennis, they would have priority. I do not know how they would adjust the tennis nets down and up, since the handle to do that is kept inside the rec center.
FYI to the tennis poster, the courts at hibiscus are always empty on Sunday mornings at 8:00 am when we play PB with friends.
