Maximize Play, Minimize Costs

When it comes to designing athletic facilities, schools and communities face a common challenge: how to provide high-quality sports spaces while staying within budget. With increasing demand for pickleball, basketball, tennis, and other court sports, building separate courts for each activity isn’t always feasible.

That’s where multi-use courts come in. These versatile spaces combine multiple sports into one court, maximizing usage and cost efficiency. In fact, research from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) suggests that facilities can save 30-50% in construction and maintenance costs by installing multi-use courts instead of separate courts for each sport.

The Benefits of Multi-Use Courts

✅ Significant Cost Savings
Building multiple single-use courts requires more materials, more space, and more ongoing maintenance. Multi-use courts allow facilities to cut costs by sharing infrastructure and reducing resurfacing needs.

✅ Maximized Space Utilization
Many schools and community parks are limited in space. A multi-use court eliminates the need for multiple playing areas while still providing access to various sports like tennis, pickleball, basketball, and more.

✅ Increased Play Opportunities
With a 40% increase in play opportunities, multi-use courts ensure that more athletes and community members can enjoy the space. Instead of limiting courts to one sport at a time, these designs encourage a broader range of activities, making them more inclusive and engaging.

✅ Lower Maintenance & Long-Term Savings
Maintaining multiple courts separately means higher resurfacing costs, increased upkeep, and more repairs over time. A well-built multi-use court requires less maintenance, reducing expenses while keeping facilities in top condition.

✅ Flexibility for Future Growth
Sports trends evolve—pickleball, for example, has surged in popularity in recent years. Multi-use courts allow facilities to adapt to changing demands without the need for expensive renovations or new construction.

Real-World Example: Multi-Use Courts in Action

At a church in Lexington, NE, Pro Track and Tennis transformed an aging, underutilized court into a versatile multi-sport space for the church and surrounding community. By adding new surfacing, fresh striping, and multi-use markings, we turned the court into a hub for basketball, pickleball, tennis, and recreational play—without the need for additional space or costly new construction.

This upgrade not only expanded the church’s recreational offerings, but also provided a safe, high-quality surface for community events, youth programs, and everyday play. By choosing a multi-use court, the church maximized its investment while creating an inclusive space for all ages to enjoy.
