South Karamata Intermediate School

Advantage TigerTurf Installation by Multisport Surface

The project centered around the installation of Advantage TigerTurf, a premium synthetic turf designed specifically for multi-sport use. Known for its durability and consistent performance, Advantage TigerTurf was selected to support a wide range of school sports and physical education activities. The surface was laid out to accomodate both a full-sized netball court and a basketball court, arranged end-on-end to maximise the available space. This configuration allows for efficient use of the area while supporting simultaneous back to back activities.

A Vibrant Multi Use Area for Students, Staff and the Wider Community

The project featured the installation of Advantage TigerTurf, a versatile and durable surface engineered for multi-sport use. Known for its consistent ball bounce and player comfort, Advantage TigerTurf was selected to accommodate netball, tennis, and hockey, ensuring that students could enjoy a variety of sports on a single, unified surface. This flexibility was a key factor in the school’s decision, allowing them to maximize the utility of their outdoor space.

Aesthetically, the courts were finished in a striking two-tone blue design, with a green runoff area that adds both visual contrast and functional safety. The blue tones define the playing zones clearly, while the green runoff provides a buffer that helps reduce impact and improve visibility around the court edges. This thoughtful color scheme not only enhances the look of the facility but also contributes to safer play and easier supervision. The layout was carefully planned to ensure optimal use of space and flow between activities. The surface was installed with precision by Multisport Surface, whose expertise in school environments ensured that the final result met both performance and durability standards. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project, from initial consultation to final handover.

This installation reflects Christchurch South Karamata Intermediate School’s commitment to fostering physical education and active lifestyles. By investing in a multi-sport synthetic turf solution, the school has created a vibrant, weather-resilient space that supports both structured PE lessons and informal recreational play. The new courts are already being embraced by students and staff alike, offering a safe, attractive, and versatile environment for sport and movement.

The collaboration between the school, Multisport Surface, and TigerTurf New Zealand has resulted in a facility that not only meets the school’s current needs but is also built to support future growth and community engagement. It stands as a model for how smart design and quality materials can transform school grounds into hubs of activity and pride.
