What to do with Old Tennis Courts

I recently bought a 550+ unit deal and we have 4 tennis courts that haven't been used in probably 10+ years.

As you can see here the courts are significantly deteriorated. 

The cost to demo is HUGE since the location of the tennis courts, dump trucks or heavy machinery can't get too.

Love to get your thoughts.

Been thinking dog park, exercise area and running track, soccer field, etc. 

Challenge is the surface needs to be addressed.

@Thomas S. thanks for sharing your perspective. 

Agree that if an ROI can't be achieved, why spend the money.

However, disagree from a resident perception, if management doesn't care about the exterior such as a dilapidated tennis court, why should the resident care about taking care of their own unit.
