English term or phrase: Courts are for tennis players only...
Sentece: Courts are for tennis players only. No roller blades or bicycles on courts

I want this to sound as natural as possible in Spanish, it's for a sign.

What about this?:

Las pistas son para los jugadores de tenis solamente. Son prohibidos los patines y las bicicletas.

Any other suggestions?

Explanation:
Hi,

I think that "courts" in this case refers to "canchas" where you play tennis.

Explanation:
I wouldn't ban "patinadores" or "ciclistas" as they may also be tennis players!
