As you can see from the diagram, there's enough space for one court. It would be a little tight on the ends but not too bad. There would be six feet on either end. The sides would have a lot of space, over ten feet on each side. The slab is perfectly level but it does have some cracks. We started working with Clarkdale Town Staff in mid-December 2016 and offered to buy the materials and volunteer to patch the cracks. Due to the holidays, we didn't really get any meaningful communication going until the second week in January 2017. We now have a tentative "green light" from Town Staff to proceed when weather permits. We met with the Town's Public Works Superintendent on January 12th and he is going to let us use some of the Town's concrete finishing tools.
The glitch is that the patch material we plan to use must be applied when temps are above 50 degrees and will not fall below freezing overnight. In January that's a tough bill to fill! We'll "git 'er dun" eventually and hope to use the court for Sunday morning play on a regular basis.
The slab is in remarkably good shape.
We don't know it's age but we'd bet it's at least 50-60 years old.
Here's a rough sketch on how the court would fit onto the slab.
