OVERVIEW
PICKLEBALL COURTS
Small-court dimensions. Big opportunities to play.
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis in a paddle sport played across a net with a perforated ball. Its distinctive court layout includes service areas and a non-volley zone, commonly known as the kitchen, near the net.
A well-planned pickleball facility brings these markings, the net position and the playing surface together. Whether the project is a dedicated court or part of a shared sports area, the layout should reflect the intended users and available space.
WHAT DEFINES THE COURT
Designed around the details of pickleball
Pickleball has its own distinctive playing zones and equipment requirements. Clear planning helps players recognise the court and enjoy the game.
Service court markings
Plan the centre line, service areas and sidelines to create clearly defined playing zones for singles and doubles.
Net & posts
Position the net and posts to suit the intended court layout, with appropriate installation and surrounding clearances.
Consistent playing surface
Consider surface uniformity, traction, drainage and upkeep to support regular recreational or organised play.
LAYOUT & CONFIGURATION
Make the most of your available space
A standard pickleball playing area measures 20 feet wide by 44 feet long for both singles and doubles. Additional surrounding space is important for player movement and access. The full site layout should be checked before construction.
- Dedicated courts for regular pickleball play
- Singles and doubles layouts using the same court dimensions
- Multi-court facilities for clubs and recreation venues
- Shared sports spaces where compatible layouts are planned
- Clear circulation and safe access around playing areas
SURFACE & SITE CONDITIONS
A playing surface suited to your setting
The right surface depends on whether the court is indoors or outdoors, how frequently it will be used and the conditions of the site.
Outdoor acrylic systems
Purpose-designed acrylic sports surfacing may be considered for outdoor courts when the substrate and site are suitable.
Indoor court surfaces
Indoor installations should use a suitable sports-floor system selected for the building, playing requirements and maintenance plan.
Base preparation
Check levels, surface regularity and the condition of the underlying base before selecting and installing the surface.
Drainage & upkeep
Outdoor court planning should account for water runoff, weather exposure, cleaning and routine surface maintenance.
WHERE IT BELONGS
Bring people together through play
Pickleball can suit a variety of shared recreation environments. Its court format makes it an option to explore for venues looking to add another paddle-sport activity to their facilities.
- Residential communities and clubhouses
- Sports clubs and dedicated recreation centres
- Schools, colleges and educational campuses
- Hotels, resorts and leisure developments
- Community facilities and multi-sport venues
