Sports Courts for Caravan Parks

Line Marking Australia builds sports courts for caravan parks and holiday parks across Australia: multi-sport courts, basketball half courts, pickleball courts, synthetic putting greens and gaga pits. We use weatherproof, low-maintenance surfaces that families can use all day, and backyard-style basketball half courts start from about $10,000 installed, including the slab.

Park owners know what families look for when they book: a pool, a jumping pillow, and somewhere for the kids to burn off energy. A good court keeps children busy and parents happy, and it shows up in reviews.

We build courts on acrylic and modular tiles and line mark them for several sports, so one slab can keep a whole park busy. Here's what park owners ask us.

Which courts suit a caravan park?

The courts that suit a caravan park are the ones that work for every age with no booking or supervision. A multi-sport court with basketball, pickleball and four square lines gets the most use. Putting greens and gaga pits add variety, and a basketball half court is a cost-effective starting point for smaller parks.

Facility	Who uses it	Starting price (installed)
Basketball half court (up to about 165 m², incl. slab)	Kids and teenagers	from about $10,000 (published Australian builder pricing, 2026)
Pickleball court	Families, grey nomads	from about $20,000 (published Australian builder pricing, 2026)
Multi-sport court	Everyone	Quoted per site
Putting green	All ages	Quoted per site
Gaga pit	Primary-age children	Quoted per site

What makes a court family-friendly?

A family-friendly caravan park court is easy to see from cabins and sites, safe underfoot and simple to use without staff. Parents want to watch from nearby, kids want lines for more than one game, and everyone wants a surface that isn't scorching at midday. Shade and seating make a big difference.

• Clear sight lines from playgrounds, camp kitchens and cabins
• Lines for basketball, pickleball, four square and handball
• Lighter surface colours that stay cooler in summer
• Shade sails and seating for parents
• Fencing to keep balls out of roads and sites

Which surfaces handle weather best?

The best weatherproof caravan park court surfaces are acrylic on concrete or asphalt and modular sports tiles. Acrylic is hard-wearing and easy to hose clean. Tiles drain through the surface, so they dry quickly after rain and suit wet or tropical regions. Synthetic grass suits putting greens and softer play areas.

Surface	Strength	Good to know
Acrylic on concrete	Hard-wearing, true bounce	Recoat about every 7 to 10 years
Modular tiles	Drains fast, quick install	Needs a firm, level base
Synthetic grass	Soft, green all year	Lasts about 10 to 15 years with care

Can one court fit several sports?

Yes. A caravan park multi-sport court can carry basketball, pickleball, netball and four square lines on one surface, each in a different colour. That means a teenager shooting hoops and a family playing pickleball can share the same slab at different times. See our multi-sport court construction page.

Are putting greens and gaga pits worth it?

Putting greens and gaga pits are popular caravan park additions because they're cheap to run and suit guests who won't use a full court. A synthetic putting green fits odd corners and needs almost no upkeep. A gaga pit is an enclosed ball game that keeps groups of kids busy for hours.

When is the best time to build?

The best time to build a caravan park court is outside school holidays and your peak season. We plan the noisy work, such as excavation and concrete, for quieter weeks, fence the work zone off from sites and cabins, and route trucks away from the reception and pool areas so guests aren't disturbed.

• Book the build for your quietest months
• Close only the area being worked on, not the whole park
• Keep a fenced, signed work zone with its own access
• Agree delivery times that avoid check-in and check-out

Do caravan park courts need council approval?

A caravan park court may need council approval, especially with lighting, fencing over about 2 m, retaining walls, significant earthworks or drainage changes, or if the park sits in a flood or coastal overlay. Rules differ by council and by your park's existing approvals, so we check before giving a final quote.

Courts near permanent residents or the park boundary need extra thought about noise and lights. We position courts and fencing to keep ball noise and glare away from neighbours and long-stay sites, which also helps if council asks about amenity.

Should we light the court?

Lighting a caravan park court extends play into summer evenings, which is when many families want to use it. We design lighting to the AS 2560 sports lighting series and limit light spill onto cabins and sites under AS/NZS 4282, with timers so lights switch off before quiet hours begin.

• LED floodlights with even light across the court
• Poles placed to avoid glare into vans and cabins
• Timer or push-button controls to keep power costs down

How do we look after a park court?

A caravan park court needs simple, regular care to stay safe and attractive. Blow off sand and leaves, hose down the surface, check hoops, nets and fencing, and re-line faded markings before peak season. Tennis Australia's Victorian guides suggest acrylic resurfacing about every 7 to 10 years.

How we keep every caravan park court build compliant

Every caravan park court build follows the same compliance steps, with extra care around guests and children. We check council requirements, run a Before You Dig Australia search, follow Work Health and Safety laws with Safe Work Method Statements, control dust and sediment, and use builders who hold the licence your state requires.

• Council requirements checked for lighting, fencing, earthworks and overlays
• Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) check before excavation
• Safe Work Method Statements for excavation and mobile plant
• Silica dust controls and sediment and stormwater controls
• AS 3600 concrete slabs
• AS 2560 lighting with spill limited under AS/NZS 4282
• Slip-resistant textured finishes
• Licensed builders with public liability insurance

What do you need from our park to quote?

To quote a caravan park court, we need to know what you'd like to build, where it could go and when the park can host the work. A site map and a few photos are the best start. We then give you an itemised quote, so you can build now or stage extras later.

• Court type and sports to mark, or a putting green or gaga pit
• New build or resurface
• Location, size and what's there now (grass, gravel, old slab)
• Slope, drainage and machinery access
• Preferred surface: acrylic, tiles or synthetic grass
• Hoops, nets, fencing, lighting, shade and seating
• Council approvals and park licence conditions
• Quiet periods for building and your budget
