20 Sports Courts & Outdoor Play Specialists

Whether you want to shoot hoops with friends or plan a safe kids play area for your little ones, there’s a professional on Houzz that can help you turn your backyard dream into a reality.

What can a sports court and outdoor play specialist do?

Sports court and outdoor play specialists design, install, repair, resurface and replace sports surfaces, including tennis courts, basketball courts and playgrounds. They have a thorough knowledge of sport rules, regulations and standards, such as court dimensions and net heights, and are required to stay on top of the latest sporting technologies and flooring systems. They can assist with planning and council approval before construction begins, as well as other unforeseen requirements, such as drainage and retaining walls. Aside from surfacing, they can also provide lighting, fencing and equipment to complete a recreational area.

Planning a playground or outdoor play gym for your little ones? Safety is likely front of mind, especially for structures that are designed for them to climb on, swing from and jump over. Professionals in this category can design and build custom playground equipment such as playhouses, swing sets, slides and cubby houses that are solid, secure and will withstand heavy use. Often tricky to assemble, they can also install off-the-shelf units to ensure uncompromising safety. Consider utilising a professional to design play equipment that encourages learning and social interaction, too.
