Sports Courts, MUGAs & Outdoor Fitness
A Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) packs several sports into one fenced, all-weather court, while running tracks and outdoor gyms build fitness into daily school life. Commercial Play designs and installs the full sports offer (surfacing, line markings, fencing and equipment) as one coordinated project.
Overview
Built for real, everyday school use
From a single netball key to a fully fenced 3G MUGA with floodlights, we build sports facilities that survive constant use and support PE, clubs and community hire. Every court is set out to the correct dimensions and line-marked for each sport it will host.

Why Commercial Play
What you get with us
More sport from one space
A MUGA hosts multiple sports on a single footprint, maximising PE capacity on tight school sites.
All-weather surfaces
Porous macadam, 2G and 3G surfaces drain fast so matches and lessons go ahead through the winter.
Ball-court fencing
Rebound fencing keeps balls in play and pupils safe, with gates and heights specified to each sport.
Community hire ready
Durable, floodlight-ready builds let schools open facilities to clubs and generate income out of hours.

FAQs
Sport & Fitness: common questions
What is a MUGA?
A MUGA is a Multi-Use Games Area, a fenced, hard-surfaced court line-marked for several sports at once, such as football, basketball, netball and tennis. It gives schools maximum sporting use from a single all-weather space.
What surface is best for a school sports court?
Porous polymeric (wet-pour) and macadam surfaces suit most multi-sport courts, while 3G artificial grass is preferred for football-focused pitches. We recommend the surface based on the sports played and how heavily the court is used.
Can you install floodlights and fencing too?
Yes. We deliver the whole facility (surfacing, line markings, rebound fencing, gates and floodlight-ready groundworks) as a single coordinated installation.
