5 Benefits of Installing a Backyard Multisport Court for Your Family

Installing a backyard multisport court for your family offers a myriad of benefits, from encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle to improving family bonding to even increasing your home value. Learn more about these benefits and more below.

Benefit #1: Versatility for Various Sports and Activities

While it might make sense to install an individual tennis court, pickleball court, or basketball court based on your family’s interest at the time, installing a backyard multisport court adds a lot of versatility to your outdoor space. These courts can be customized to accommodate different sports, such as basketball, tennis, pickleball, and more. And the ability to switch between activities ensures that every member of your family—you, your kids, and your grandkids—can enjoy their favorite sport, or whichever sport is most popular at the time, without the need for a separate dedicated space for each one. This flexibility makes a backyard multisport court an ideal investment for families with diverse interests. 

Benefit #2: Encourages an Active Lifestyle

In an era where sedentary lifestyles are on the rise, having a backyard court encourages an active and healthy lifestyle for the whole family. Whether you’re shooting hoops, playing tennis, practicing proper pickleball dinks, or all of the above, you’re getting valuable, regular exercise right at home. And the benefit of playing various sports means you get a variety of workouts on one court that can accommodate family members of all ages.

Benefit #3: Improves Family Bonding

A backyard court is a perfect setting for quality family bonding. Instead of everyone retreating to separate rooms or electronic devices, the court becomes a gathering place for friendly matches, competitions, and shared experiences. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and strengthens family bonds through laughter, friendly rivalry, and shared victories.

Benefit #4: Increases Home Value

Investing in a backyard court isn’t just a personal benefit; it can also enhance the value of your home, especially one that could be used for a variety of interests. Potential home buyers often appreciate the added appeal of a well-maintained and professionally installed recreational space, which will make your property stand out in the real estate market when it comes time to sell.

Benefit #5: Provides a Safe and Convenient Play Area

Having a dedicated space for sports and recreational activities in your own backyard brings unparalleled convenience. 

  • No need to drive to a local sports facility or wait for a court to become available. You can play at any time in your own backyard. 
  • Need to work at home but the kids want something to do? Send them outside to play on the court. 
  • Want your family to have a better way to connect with neighbors? Invite your neighbors over for a game, or let the neighborhood kids gather at your home to play with your kids in a safe play area. 
  • Looking to host a birthday party or family gathering? You now have a great activity for everyone to do when they come over.
