Papatoetoe North Primary School wanted a high-quality TigerTurf multi-purpose court that could be used every day of the year. TigerTurf Trophy is one of our most popular surfaces for schools and clubs. Beautiful, incredibly durable and highly technical, Trophy comes in a brilliant selection of colours that lends itself to striking, individual designs. Playground games, sports courts and general use areas come to life in clear, bright, colourful designs and texture, and, above all, with busy, noisy students at vigorous play every day of the year.
TigerTurf Trophy offers schools an impressive portfolio of qualities that give lasting value
Our construction team began by removing the old turf, and then repaired and upgraded the base construction with improved stability and drainage, applied TigerBond for extra strength, topping it all off with the bright blue surface.
The TigerTurf Trophy court resonates in shimmering blues, the rich blue central playing area defined by a lighter sea-blue border. As well as a strikingly handsome playground, the school now has a modern, technical multi-turf with incredible durability woven into its structure.
Sheltered by the existing canopy from the vagaries of seasonal weather, the students now have a clean, comfortable area to sit on during assemblies and snack times. Because our grass turfs absorb sound better than a hard surface does, it is possible for discussion and drama groups to use the area while other classes work indoors.
TigerTurf Trophy requires only a minimal level of sand infill; therefore, very little sand will be carried into classrooms and family cars. The court is non-abrasive and safe for play in all weather.
TigerTurf has a good working relationship with Watershed Property Projects, a Ministry of Education funding department that assists schools to bring their school facilities up to the necessary standard for the modern New Zealand curriculum.
The many school projects we carry out under the aegis of the Ministry of Education Watershed funding contact flow smoothly and pleasantly from the initial briefing through to a successful completion. This project was made simple, as always, by the positive attitude we shared with the Watershed funding administrator.
The perfect TigerTurf Trophy court is a multi-purpose, all-weather, low-maintenance asset
Papatoetoe North Primary School now has a top-quality, versatile multi-use court for curricular, recreational and general school activities.
From the initial discussion to the installation of the new Trophy surface, this was a rewarding project to work on. TigerTurf especially enjoys our school projects, working on designs to give students colourful, top-quality all-weather sports and recreation areas that reward serious sports practice and give lasting value to the school.
As a bonus, this school’s eye-catching TigerTurf multi-use court promises endless fun for play and PE, and we certainly shared the enthusiasm and delight of the school community as we completed the project during the busy school days, despite delays for weather.
