Multi-Sport, Maximum Impact: How We Reimagined a Common Area at Villas at Waterchase

A smart capital project pays for itself in resident use, retention, and reputation. This fall, our team transformed an underused tennis court at Villas at Waterchase into a modern multi-sport court that now supports basketball and small-sided soccer—often at the same time. The result is a bold, low-maintenance amenity that feels brand-new without adding square footage or staff workload.

Aging single-use courts drift from “amenity” to “liability.” Worn surfaces dull the experience, lines fade, and the space serves too few residents for the footprint it occupies. Balls escape into walkways, scheduling conflicts stack up, and complaints trickle in. Ownership needed a solution that increased capacity, improved safety, and created visible value—with minimal disruption to daily operations.

We delivered a turnkey design and installation, coordinating final layout and colors with ownership so the court reflects the community’s look and needs. The new design features a split-court configuration that enables concurrent play—basketball on one half, futsal on the other—so more residents can participate without waiting on a time slot.

• Modern, durable surface. We refreshed the court with a high-performance, textured coating designed for traction, UV stability, and easy upkeep. The bold color palette doubles as wayfinding: zones are clear at a glance, and play flows naturally.

• Purposeful lines and goals. Sport-grade striping and properly placed goals keep games organized and reduce on-court confusion—no more “which line is which?” moments.

• Safer, contained play. Updated containment (end fencing and a central divider) helps keep balls on the court and walkways clear, so play feels focused and spectators feel safe.

• Better access. A streamlined gate location and a clean threshold make entry, exit, and quick staff checks straightforward.

• Minimal disruption, clean turnover. We staged the work to limit downtime, secured the site during installation, and handed over with a final walkthrough and documentation set (renderings and surface plan) so management has a clear record of what was delivered.

What changed for the property

• More use, same footprint. The split-court concept effectively doubles playable moments in peak hours—less waiting, more activity, happier residents.

• Higher perceived value. Fresh color, crisp lines, and modern equipment communicate care and investment; leasing teams now have a headline amenity that photographs beautifully.

• Fewer incidents. Contained play reduces off-court interference and trip-and-chase moments, cutting down on nuisance issues for staff.

• Easy to maintain. The surface system is built for daily wear and quick routine cleaning, so the court stays game-ready without constant attention.

• Confidence built in. The project is backed by strong workmanship and surfacing warranties, so if something isn’t right, we make it right.

Tips if you’re considering a similar project

1. Design for simultaneous use. A center divide and clear sport zones let one space behave like two—big payback, small complexity.

2. Use color with intent. Contrasting zones improve wayfinding and help staff guide play (“basketball left, soccer right”).

3. Contain the action. Good perimeter control protects both players and passersby and reduces cleanups outside the court.

4. Plan the handoff. Ask for renderings, a simple surface plan, and photo documentation; your onsite staff will thank you later.

5. Think lifecycle, not day one. Choose finishes and components that are easy to clean, easy to refresh, and covered by clear warranties.
