Multi-Sport Sizing
| Sport | Size |

| Basketball 3x3 | 15m × 11m |
| Badminton | 13.4m × 6.1m |
| Pickleball | 13.4m × 6.1m |
A 30m × 16m court fits 1 full 5v5 + 2 badminton/pickleball + a kids' outer ring — covering 80% of community needs.
Flooring & Line Marking
Main pick: ANK5 jumbo grid (50×50cm, low seam feel). Alternative: ANK1F (25×25cm, flexible color patterns). For multi-sport lines, different-color tiles never fade (recommended) vs paint (re-coat every 2-3 yrs). See outdoor court flooring.
Setup & Maintenance
Add 4m fencing, LED lighting (200-300 lux), seating. Maintenance: monthly seam cleaning, quarterly lock check, single-tile replacement as needed. Annual maintenance ≈ 1-2% of initial cost. For 5000㎡+ venues, follow school GB 36246 selection.

200-300 lux average for community courts (4× 400W LED); 400-600 lux for events.
