A court is one of the most used shared spaces in a residential complex. Poorly planned, it becomes a noise and maintenance dispute; well located and surfaced, it serves for years.
Choosing the location
The court should not be too close to bedroom windows, as ball noise and evening use can disturb residents. There should be a safe distance or fence between it and the children's play area.
Which sport?
Instead of a single-sport court, a multi-sport court for basketball and volleyball appeals to more age groups.
Surface
Acrylic suits multi-sport use with a true ball bounce and coloured lines. Existing concrete or asphalt can serve as a base with proper preparation.
Fencing and lighting
A fence keeps balls in, and directed lighting allows evening play without disturbing neighbours.
Maintenance and rules
Regular sweeping, footwear rules and set opening hours protect both the surface and good neighbourly relations.
