Imagine walking out your back door and stepping onto a space where your kids can shoot hoops, play pickleball, or practice volleyball, without ever leaving home. For families in St. Louis, a backyard court isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a lifestyle investment. And with today’s customizable multi-sport court options, you don’t have to choose just one activity, you can design a space that does it all.
Bergfeld Recreation helps families build safe, fun, lasting outdoor spaces. From playsets to trampolines to custom backyard courts, our mission is to create places where kids put down screens, get moving, and build memories.
Why a Multi-Sport Court?
Screens are winning more of our kids’ attention than ever before, and parents everywhere are looking for creative ways to encourage healthier, more active play. According to the CDC’s physical activity guidelines, children and teens should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each day. Having a court right in your backyard makes it easy—and fun—for kids to hit that goal.
But multi-sport courts go beyond health benefits. They:
-
Save time: No more driving across town to a gym or park.
-
Bring families together: Kids, parents, and even grandparents can all play together.
-
Add property value: A well-designed backyard court is a premium feature that future buyers love.
-
Provide variety: Whether it’s basketball, pickleball, or tennis, your family has options without needing separate spaces.
Multi-Sport Court Options for Your Family
So, what kinds of activities can you enjoy with a custom court from Bergfeld Recreation? Here are some of the most popular designs:
🏀 Basketball Courts
Basketball remains the #1 sport for backyard courts. From a half-court setup with one hoop to a full-size court for competitive play, we can design the right size for your yard. Our courts are built with adjustable hoops, so kids can grow into the game.
🏓 Pickleball Courts
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., and for good reason: it’s easy to learn, fun for all ages, and doesn’t require much space. A multi-sport court can be lined for pickleball, giving you a dedicated spot to play without needing a community court reservation.

🎾 Tennis & QuickStart Tennis
For families with tennis players, we can design courts to scale—whether it’s a full-size court or a smaller QuickStart setup for kids learning the game.
🏐 Volleyball
Add a net system, and your multi-sport court doubles as a volleyball court. Perfect for summer evenings and family competitions.
🏒 Inline Hockey & Futsal
Our modular court surfaces aren’t limited to traditional sports. With the right markings, you can create a futsal pitch or inline hockey rink.
Customization Makes All the Difference
What makes Bergfeld’s courts unique is the ability to customize every detail:
-
Court Size: From compact half-courts to multi-use full courts.
-
Surface: Modular sports tiles designed for shock absorption, traction, and all-weather durability.
-
Lines & Markings: Custom line packages so one surface can handle basketball, pickleball, tennis, and more.
-
Accessories: Lighting, fencing, rebounders, and Goalsetter hoops.
This means your family doesn’t have to settle for just one sport—you can build a court that truly fits your lifestyle.
Safety and Durability
Outdoor courts take a beating—between Missouri summers, freezing winters, and year-round play, durability is essential. That’s why we install VersaCourt modular tile systems, which are designed for:
-
Shock absorption to protect joints.
-
Traction control even when wet.
-
UV resistance to prevent fading.
-
Low maintenance compared to asphalt or concrete.
Multi-sport courts are among the most effective ways to encourage physical activity because they are safe, versatile, and inviting to all ages.
Planning Your Court: What to Consider
Designing a multi-sport court is exciting, but it takes some planning. Here’s what to think about:
-
Available Space: A half-court for basketball requires less room than a full pickleball or tennis court. Our team can measure and recommend the best layout.
-
Primary Sport: Start with the sport your family plays most, then layer in additional options.
-
Surfacing: Modular tiles provide durability and comfort.
-
Lighting: Extend play into the evening with professional-grade court lighting.
-
Budget: Multi-sport courts are an investment, but their versatility and durability provide long-term value.
