7 Backyard Game Court Design Ideas
For far too long, the backyard has been an area of the home generally reserved for lawn maintenance, pet enclosures, and the occasional grill-out. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
From makeshift soccer goals to amateur volleyball nets, athletic families often have to get creative when it comes to practicing their favorite sports in the backyard. But suppose you’re a family committed to staying active and engaging in recreational activities. Why not double down on your athletic commitment and transform your backyard into the ultimate sports utopia?
Build a custom outdoor athletic court to get all the benefits of outdoor summer activities, plus the option of flooding the court in winter so you can ice skate in your own backyard! Depending on the available space, there is a wide variety of outdoor game court designs you can build and install in your backyard. In fact, building a backyard game court is much more accessible than you think it is.
If you need some inspiration for designing your very own at-home game court to build in your backyard, check out these seven backyard game court design ideas below!
1. Custom Basketball Court
Looking to perfect your free throw shot? Whether you have room for a full-size or half-court, you can definitely design a customized basketball court to be built in your backyard.
You can practice your game with your friends in privacy or invite the whole neighborhood for a weekend tournament. Best of all, you won’t have to adhere to local gym hours to play basketball with friends. Just step outside, and you’re ready to play!
C&C Courts offer three levels of basketball court surface materials that allow for better ball control and shock absorption, called Lateral Forgiveness. The three levels are called SportGamePB, PowerGame, and PowerGame+.
Each surface has different levels of Lateral Forgiveness and ball control, but all three will be easier on the joints while you play. Plus, these surfaces are much safer than plain old concrete, particularly if someone falls down. The surfaces feature low abrasiveness, which can keep you from getting hurt worse.
2. Game Court with Patio Space
Need your backyard game court to be more inclusive? Set up spectator space around your outdoor court by installing a contemporary patio beside it!
Style up the space with comfortable chairs, an electric fire pit, and lighting to create the ultimate sports-viewing ambiance. If you choose to illuminate your backyard game court, you can keep playing well into the night while all your friends or family hang out on the patio.
3. Backyard Tennis Court
Is tennis more your game? We can do that too! Backyard tennis courts are a great way to get cardio and practice without leaving your home. You can even design your tennis court to be a multi-purpose game court by having a removable net or basketball hoop installed! Don’t forget to brush up on the rules for tennis.
4. Outdoor Putting Green
Want to bring the country club to your backyard? If you prefer golf, you can keep up with your putting game by installing a putting green in your backyard!
You can practice putting when you don’t have time to play a full game of golf or customize your very own clubhouse home where you and your friends can enjoy your game in private. There are many things to consider when building a putting green in your backyard, so make sure you discuss these things with your C&C Courts representative.
