Since that encroaches on tennis playing, that should be ruled out. The only/ONLY answer is to make more PB courts in areas where PB is the most popular. There seems to be plenty of room to expand at most of these rec centers, IF one does not mind taking a bit of the parking area. How one plays PB compared to how they play tennis and how dangerous one sport is compared to another had nothing to do with the OP's subject of long lines at the PB courts.

Well said.
As a tennis player, it doesn't really matter to me as long as they don't take tennis courts away. But I do realize PB is way more popular now. I think the area where you live matters as well. Not all PB courts are packed. But they should build more where the demand is the highest.
