PROJECT BACKGROUND
The original court at South Whidbey Community Park utilized a tile system that proved problematic over time. The surface became slippery when wet and was difficult to clean, leading to significant moss buildup. Additionally, the court’s slope caused tiles to shift during heavy rains, despite being pinned to the asphalt with 12-inch spikes. These spikes frequently dislodged, creating safety hazards. On hot days, the tiles would buckle and rise, further disrupting play and increasing maintenance challenges.
CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
The owner sought a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface that could support year-round use. Key priorities included:
- Improved surface stability
- Safer conditions in wet and hot weather
- Easier maintenance and cleaning
- A professional look and feel for community use
