Developed in response to the demands of kids, KABOOM! presents Multi-Sport Courts!
Sports courts help communities address a lack of play opportunities for older youth that no longer play on playgrounds. The interlocking tiles are easy to install and maintain. Sports courts provide communities with a wide variety of different sports using the same space — such as basketball, hockey, volleyball and many other games.
Benefits
- Receive a new, custom-designed sports court with hand-crafted amenities to make the playspace truly yours!
- Engage community members to work toward a common goal.
- Participate and lead a planning process to help you fundraise, build relationships and develop media relations skills that will strengthen your community and can be used for future projects.
