Multi-Sport Courts for Caravan and Holiday Parks

Line Marking Australia builds multi-sport courts for caravan and holiday parks across Australia, combining basketball, pickleball, tennis, futsal and other games on one hard-wearing surface. A compact half court starts from about $10,000 including the slab (published Australian builder pricing, 2026), and larger park courts are quoted per site.

Families choose holiday parks for the things kids can do. A good court keeps them busy for hours and gives parents a reason to book again next school holidays.

A multi-sport court is the best value because one slab serves many games. Here's what park owners and managers ask us before they build.

Why do caravan parks add multi-sport courts?

Caravan and holiday parks add multi-sport courts because one court entertains guests of every age with very little staff time. Kids shoot hoops, families play pickleball and teenagers kick a futsal ball, all on the same surface. A court also photographs well for booking sites and helps parks compete for school-holiday family bookings.

• Free activity that keeps kids busy and parents relaxed
• Several sports on one slab, so no single group takes over
• Low running costs and simple equipment
• A visible feature for listings and social media

Which sports can share a holiday park court?

A holiday park multi-sport court commonly combines basketball, pickleball, netball, futsal, volleyball, badminton and tennis, with each sport's lines in a different colour. Basketball and pickleball are the most popular pairing for parks because they suit all ages and fit a modest slab. We recommend a primary sport so the lines stay readable.

Sport	Playing area	Suits parks because
Basketball (full court)	28 m × 15 m (FIBA)	Most-used by kids and teens; a half court suits smaller sites
Pickleball	13.41 m × 6.10 m	Easy for families and older guests
Tennis (doubles)	23.77 m × 10.97 m	Classic guest favourite where space allows
Volleyball	18 m × 9 m	Good for groups with a portable net
Badminton (doubles)	13.4 m × 6.1 m	Light, social play on calm days
Futsal	Common sizes we build to suit the slab	Kick-around games with small goals

How much does a caravan park multi-sport court cost?

A caravan park multi-sport court starts from about $10,000 for a compact half court of up to about 165 m² including the slab, and a full-size basketball court of about 420 m² starts from about $70,000 (both published Australian builder pricing, 2026). Fencing, lighting, shade and extra equipment are quoted per site.

Site preparation, slope, drainage and access for concrete trucks move the price most. We itemise each item so you can build the court now and add lights or fencing in a later season.

What surface is best for a holiday park court?

The best holiday park court surface is usually textured acrylic on a concrete slab, because it's tough, grippy and easy to re-line for new sports. Modular sports tiles are a strong alternative: they drain quickly, install fast and can be lifted and repaired in sections. Lighter colours stay cooler in summer sun.

• Acrylic on concrete: long-lasting, true bounce, easy to clean
• Modular tiles: quick install, good drainage, replaceable panels
• Cushioned acrylic: softer underfoot, more cost

We've built school multi-sport courts on modular tiles with basketball hoops, and the same approach suits busy holiday parks.

Where should a caravan park put its court?

A caravan park court works best near the playground, camp kitchen or pool, where parents can keep an eye on kids, but away from powered sites and cabins where a bouncing ball keeps people awake. Clear sight lines from reception help staff supervise. A north–south layout keeps the low sun out of players' eyes.

• Away from cabins, quiet zones and van sites
• Fencing to keep balls out of roads and gardens
• Shade and seating for parents watching
• Step-free path from the main park roads

Do caravan parks need council approval for a court?

A caravan park court may need council approval in Australia, depending on the earthworks, fencing over about 2 m, lighting, drainage and any flood, coastal or heritage overlays. Many parks sit in flood-prone or coastal areas, so overlays are common. We check your council's requirements before the final quote and provide drawings if needed.

Should a park court have lighting?

Lighting lets holiday park guests play in the cooler evenings, which is when many families are free in summer. Court lights are designed to the AS 2560 sports lighting standards, with spill kept off cabins and van sites under AS/NZS 4282. Timers or push-button switches with auto-off stop lights running late into quiet hours.

How do you build without disrupting guests?

We build caravan park courts around guests by working outside peak school-holiday periods where possible, fencing and signing the work zone, routing concrete trucks away from park roads used by children, and agreeing work hours with management. Noisy work stays in the middle of the day. One contact handles the job from start to finish.

1. Site visit, layout and season planning
2. Approvals and Before You Dig Australia check
3. Earthworks, drainage and slab, or tile base
4. Surface, multi-sport lines, hoops and posts
5. Fencing, lighting and shade, then handover

How we keep every holiday park court build compliant

Every caravan park multi-sport court we build is planned against council rules, safety laws and the right Australian Standards. That means approvals checked early, services located before digging, safe work methods around guests, concrete to AS 3600, accessible paths considered against AS 1428.1, and lighting that keeps spill off cabins.

• Each sport's court dimensions, with lines in contrasting colours
• Local council planning or building approval checked, including flood and coastal overlays
• Before You Dig Australia check before excavation
• Concrete slabs to AS 3600 with drainage falls
• Accessible paths considered against AS 1428.1
• Sports lighting to AS 2560.1:2018 and AS 2560.2:2021, spill limited under AS/NZS 4282
• Safe Work Method Statements, silica dust controls and sediment controls
• Slip-resistant textured finishes; builders licensed for your state with public liability insurance
