Featuring Snap Sports Tiles for Pickleball, Badminton, Volleyball & Shuffleboard
We recently completed a custom 30×60 multi-sport game court in East Islip, New York, near the waterfront. This project combines recreation, durability, and landscape appeal in a single, cohesive space. Designed for pickleball, badminton, volleyball, and shuffleboard, the court offers a resort-style experience and withstands coastal conditions. This project demonstrates how quality materials, skilled construction, and thoughtful landscaping can transform a yard into a vibrant space for family and friends.
A Multi-Sport Game Court Designed for Versatility
The homeowners requested a versatile court suitable for all ages that would complement the natural surroundings. We designed a multi-use athletic surface that easily accommodates:
- Pickleball
- Badminton
- Volleyball
- Two shuffleboard courts
An adjustable net system allows quick conversion between pickleball, badminton, and volleyball. This flexibility makes the court ideal for family activities, gatherings, and casual play. The 30-by-60-foot court provides ample space for competitive play and integrates seamlessly with the landscape.
Built on a Solid, Sustainable Foundation
A long-lasting sports game court starts with a strong base. For this project, we used recycled concrete for the foundation, making the court both environmentally friendly and structurally sound. On top of the recycled concrete, we installed a layer of bluestone screening to provide a stable, compact surface.
- Protection against frost heaving and erosion
A layer of landscape fabric between the bluestone base and Snap Sports tiles prevents weeds, improves stability, and helps the court remain level over time.
Why Snap Sports Polypropylene Tiles?
We selected Snap Sports polypropylene tiles for their durability, safety, and professional appearance. These modular tiles are designed for outdoor athletic surfaces and offer several key benefits: they are comfortable and safer for all ages.
- Slip-Resistant Surface – The textured tile surface provides reliable traction, even in waterfront settings.
- Drainage and Weather Resistance – Rainwater drains through the tiles instead of pooling, allowing for faster drying and year-round use.
- Low Maintenance – The surface requires minimal upkeep, needing only occasional rinsing to remove dirt or debris.
- Long-Lasting Color – The UV-stable material resists fading, even under direct sunlight.
Together, these features ensure the court performs well and withstands the elements. We framed the court perimeter with 2×4 pressure-treated lumber to define the space and protect the edges. This approach provides a clean appearance and adds structural integrity to the tile system. Surrounding the court, five feet of synthetic turf creates a smooth transition from play area to landscape. The turf provides a soft, clean border that keeps dirt from the court.
- Adds visual contrast
- Provides a comfortable space for spectators
We installed a Nicolock paver patio on one side of the court, providing a space for relaxation, spectating, and entertaining guests.
A Coastal-Inspired Landscape Design
Given the property’s proximity to the water, the surrounding landscape was designed to complement the coastal environment.
We incorporated:
- Gravel flower beds
- Beach grasses
- Native flowers
These elements enhance the space’s beauty, improve drainage, and reduce maintenance. The natural textures and colors blend with the court and waterfront views, creating a serene and energetic outdoor setting. For Entertaining and Active Living. This East Islip multi-sport game court isn’t just about athletics; it’s about lifestyle. Whether hosting a backyard tournament, teaching kids a new sport, or enjoying a sunset shuffleboard match, the space offers endless opportunities for recreation and connection. With multiple sports built into one court, the homeowners can:
- Host pickleball games during the day
- Switch to volleyball or badminton in minutes.
- Enjoy shuffleboard in the evening.
- Entertain guests on the patio.
It serves as an extension of the home, designed for fun, fitness, and relaxation.
