A custom multisport game court can be in your backyard. Creating outdoor living spaces that promote health, family fun, and versatility has become a top trend in residential landscaping. Gappsi has been at the forefront of this movement on Long Island. The latest example of this trend is a beautifully designed and masterfully constructed Multisport Game Court in Dix Hills, NY. From pickleball and bocce to basketball and volleyball, this custom-built court is a testament to functional design and expert craftsmanship.
A Vision for All-Ages, All-Sports Entertainment
The homeowners in Dix Hills envisioned a space that catered to multiple generations, sports interests, and year-round outdoor activity. Gappsi brought this vision to life by designing a comprehensive custom multisport game court that blends high-performance surfaces with an elegant, durable finish. The finished project is not just a game court—it’s a lifestyle enhancement, a social hub, and a physical fitness zone, all in one.
Bocce Court Built for Beauty and Durability
Bocce Court Built for Beauty and DurabilityOne of the project’s highlights is the expertly crafted bocce court. A classic game area that brings timeless charm to any backyard. Gappsi constructed the court using synthetic wood for the sidewalls. This is an eco-friendly and maintenance-free material that mimics the look of natural timber without its susceptibility to rot or warping. The floor of the bocce court features synthetic turf with a green infill, chosen for its resilience, even bounce, and low upkeep. This combination ensures an even playing surface while also providing a visually cohesive and natural aesthetic.
The synthetic turf also allows water to drain efficiently, making the bocce court usable shortly after rainfall, a critical factor for homeowners seeking convenience and functionality.
A Modern Pickleball Sports Game Court with Premier Performance
Pickleball has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., and this court was built to meet the demand with professional-quality standards. The pickleball court features a durable asphalt base laid over recycled concrete, an environmentally conscious decision that enhances structural integrity while reducing waste.
The court was then painted using Laykold paints and primers, a top-tier surfacing product used in professional tennis and multi-use courts worldwide. Gappsi applied a stylish light blue and silver color scheme for the inlay, offering excellent visual contrast for better ball visibility and gameplay. The outer perimeter of the court was painted green, tying the whole design into the surrounding landscape.
Versatile Equipment for Multi-Game Fun
Versatile Equipment for Multi-Game FunGappsi didn’t stop at court design and surfacing. We elevated this backyard transformation by installing high-end sports equipment tailored for multi-game versatility.
A Dominator basketball hoop anchors one end of the court. Known for its premium construction and smooth height adjustability, the Dominator system is made from rust-resistant aluminum and built to withstand even the most aggressive play. It’s a full-size hoop, perfect for both casual shooting practice and competitive games.
Flanking the basketball hoop are double-horn lights mounted on aluminum posts. These high-efficiency lights provide even illumination for nighttime play, extending the court’s usability well beyond daylight hours. This means more time for families and friends to connect, exercise, and enjoy their outdoor space.
In addition to basketball, Gappsi installed a multisport net system designed to accommodate pickleball, badminton, and volleyball. This netting is adjustable in height and tension, enabling players to seamlessly transition between different games without the hassle of swapping out equipment. It’s a perfect solution for families with varied interests and skill levels.
Premium Perimeter Finishing with Nicolock Pavers
Beyond the playing areas, the entire project is framed with impeccable stonework. Gappsi used Nicolock Stone Ridge pavers in the “Granite City” color, complemented by a contrasting charcoal border. This elegant yet durable perimeter not only enhances the visual appeal of the court but also provides a functional buffer zone that helps define the play space and separate it from surrounding landscaping.
These pavers are renowned for their richly colored surface, slip resistance, and longevity, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic outdoor applications. They also add a clean, polished finish that seamlessly ties the court into the overall backyard design.
