I think the lack of lights on Pickleball Courts is perhaps because those that live close enough to hear the "pop, pop, pop" would not want to hear it during the evening while dining outside, sleeping or entertaining.
We rented a home here before buying that was not even that close to the courts, but we could hear it when the windows were open - all day long. So when we purchased, we made sure our new home was far enough away. I like to nap with the windows open.
