Parks & Recreation Departments

Your department manages athletic facilities for an entire community. Youth leagues, adult recreation programs, senior fitness, weekend tournaments, and casual drop-in players all share the same courts and tracks. When those surfaces deteriorate, you hear about it from residents, elected officials, and program coordinators who can’t run their activities safely.

AG Sports Surfaces has been working with parks and recreation departments across Indiana, Kentucky, and the Midwest since 2015. We understand municipal procurement, grant timelines, and the reality that public facilities need to serve everyone well while staying within taxpayer-funded budgets.

The Public Facility Challenge

Municipal courts and tracks don’t get the off-season that private facilities enjoy. As soon as spring arrives, they’re in constant use until winter forces everyone indoors. Your maintenance crews are already managing parks, pools, fields, and facilities across the entire community.

Indiana weather compounds the challenge. Freeze-thaw cycles crack surfaces over winter. Summer heat arrives just as your busiest programming season begins. By the time you can schedule repairs, the damage has spread.

Services for Municipal Facilities

Tennis Court Installation & Resurfacing

Public tennis courts see more variety of players than private clubs. Youth programs, recreational adults, competitive league players, and seniors all use the same surfaces. We build tennis courts designed for this heavy mixed use, and our resurfacing services restore courts that have been deferred too long.

Pickleball Court Construction

Pickleball demand has exploded in municipal recreation, especially among active adults. We build dedicated pickleball courts and convert underutilized tennis courts to pickleball or multi-use configurations. The smaller court footprint lets you add more playing stations to meet community demand without acquiring additional land.

Running Track Installation & Repair

Community tracks serve everyone from high school athletes to senior walkers. Our track installation includes proper drainage and sub-base work that prevents the premature deterioration common in public facilities. For existing tracks, our repair and resurfacing services extend useful life without full reconstruction.

Basketball Courts

Park basketball courts often see the heaviest use of any facility. We build surfaces that handle the pounding while providing consistent play characteristics. Multi-sport line striping lets the same court support basketball leagues, pickleball programs, and community events.

Working with Municipal Procurement

We’re experienced with public bid processes, prevailing wage requirements, and the documentation your finance department needs. If you’re working with state or federal grant funding, we understand the compliance and reporting requirements those funds carry.

For projects spanning multiple budget years, we can phase work to match your capital improvement plan. Complete one park’s courts this year, schedule another for next fiscal year, and plan the track resurfacing for when grant funds become available.

Minimizing Program Disruption

Closing courts during peak programming season isn’t an option. We work with your recreation coordinators to schedule construction during shoulder seasons and provide realistic timelines that let you communicate closures to league organizers and program participants in advance.

Community-Focused Design

Public facilities need to serve diverse user groups. We can recommend court configurations that maximize community benefit, whether that’s converting underused tennis courts to high-demand pickleball, adding walking lanes around track perimeters, or designing multi-sport surfaces that support multiple programs on the same footprint.

Schedule a Facility Review

Whether you’re developing a capital improvement plan, responding to community requests, or addressing safety concerns, we’ll assess your sports facilities and provide recommendations that fit your budget and timeline.
