Synthetic Grass Court Treatment Complete!
We’re excited to share that an extensive court treatment has just been carried out on our five main synthetic grass courts!
The work was done by industry experts Sportzing and is designed to improve playability and extend the life of our courts. As part of the upgrade, ½ a tonne of sand was added to each of Courts 5, 6, 7, and 8, to restore correct infill depth and improve playing performance..
A big thank you to our local superstar, Alec Reverente, whose win at the AO 1-Point Slam earned Sandgate & District Youth Tennis Association a $5,000 grant from Tennis Australia. We’ve put that funding straight back into improving our courts for everyone to enjoy.
What you’ll notice on court:
- Smoother, more consistent bounce
- Better grip and safer movement
- Courts that dry faster after rain
- A more comfortable feel underfoot
What was actually done?
Synthetic grass courts have fibres with sand between them. Over time, that sand becomes compacted and uneven, which can make the surface feel slow, patchy or slippery. This treatment:
- Loosened and decompacted the sand
- Evened out and topped up sand levels
- Lifted the fibres and cleared out dirt and debris
Resulting in courts that play better, feel safer, and will last longer! Â
So come out and play! 🎾
