Case Study: Slam dunk for Belmore Boys Public School

Students at Belmore Boys Public School, NSW have every reason to jump for joy with the successful construction of a bright new basketball court.

Completed in April 2020 by sport court and recreation space specialist, Aussie Outdoor Design, Belmore’s stunning new court was constructed in a redundant sloped area on site.

The project has allowed the school to add to its rapidly growing population and cater to the pressing student need for more outdoor sporting activities.

Aussie Outdoor Design Project Manager Matt Penrose described the design and build process: “A collaboration of our specialist multisport construction team took into consideration boundary and drainage needs for the area and a raised multisport court base was constructed in preparation for the high wearing synthetic surface.

“Drainage considerations included sub surface drainage with new surface drainage, needed for integrity and longevity of the playing surfaces. This great drainage with the new synthetic grass surface allows for more game day activities even directly aft er rain events, which natural paying surfaces do not off er.”

The stunning 1120m2 space consists of netball and basketball courts, equipped with brandnew posts for each, as well as synthetic grass surfacing, sandstone retaining walls, and additional drainage throughout. With the popularity of basketball soaring among Aussie school students, Belmore has tapped into an exciting era of school sport. The impressive result of this collaboration with the expert school sport court designers at Aussie Outdoor Design will delight Belmore’s school community for years to come.
