Asset Protection Services Completes Singapore’s Largest Outdoor Pickleball Facility at Jurong Play Grounds

ITF-Standard Courts Set New Benchmark for Multi-Sport Recreation in Singapore

Asset Protection Services Pte Ltd has successfully completed the installation of 10 professional-grade pickleball courts at Jurong Play Grounds, establishing what is set to become Singapore’s largest outdoor pickleball facility. The project represents a significant milestone in the growing popularity of pickleball across Southeast Asia and demonstrates the increasing demand for purpose-built, tournament-standard facilities.

ITF-Approved Flooring System Meeting International Standards

The Jurong Play Grounds facility features 10 courts, each surfaced using Asset Protection Services’ Mapei ITF-approved flooring system designed specifically for racquet sports. Unlike standard tennis courts, pickleball courts require different dimensions and playing characteristics, and the facility has been optimised to accommodate the sport’s specific requirements within the available space.

The Mapei flooring installation incorporates multiple layers engineered to deliver optimal playing characteristics:

Surface Performance Characteristics:

• Court Pace Rating within ITF specifications for medium-pace surfaces
• Consistent ball bounce across all 10 courts
• Excellent traction for quick lateral movements
• UV-resistant coating suitable for Singapore’s tropical climate

Addressing Community Concerns Through Innovative Design

Following community feedback regarding noise levels from pickleball activities, Jurong Play Grounds has implemented comprehensive acoustic management solutions. The facility now incorporates 360-degree sound barriers around the courts, featuring quilted acoustic panels that significantly reduce noise transmission to neighbouring residential areas.

This innovative approach demonstrates how modern sports facilities can successfully balance recreational needs with community considerations, setting a precedent for future developments across Singapore.

Mixed-Use Facility Supporting Multiple Skill Levels

The Jurong Play Grounds facility has been designed as a mixed-use recreation centre capable of hosting:

• Recreational play for families and casual players
• Structured coaching programmes and lessons
• Inter-club competitions
• Regional tournaments
• Corporate team-building events

The ITF-standard flooring system ensures that competitive players can train and compete on surfaces that meet international tournament specifications, whilst recreational players benefit from the same high-quality playing experience.

Technical Excellence in Flooring Installation

Asset Protection Services’ reputation as Singapore’s dedicated epoxy flooring specialist proved instrumental in delivering this complex project. The installation required meticulous surface preparation and precision application techniques to ensure:

1. Planarity and Evenness: All courts meet ITF recommendations with deviations kept within 6mm across the principal playing area
2. Consistent Pace Rating: Uniform playing characteristics across all 10 courts
3. Durability: Surfaces designed to withstand heavy usage and tropical weather conditions
4. Safety: Appropriate friction coefficients to minimise injury risk

The company’s experience with ITF-approved materials and testing procedures, combined with their BizSafe certification, ensured the project met all safety and quality requirements.

Growing Demand for Pickleball Facilities in Singapore

Pickleball has experienced remarkable growth globally, and Singapore is no exception. The sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, making it accessible to players of all ages and fitness levels. The establishment of a 10-court facility at Jurong Play Grounds reflects the increasing participation rates and the need for dedicated venues.

As one of the few facilities in Singapore with courts built specifically for pickleball rather than converted tennis courts, Jurong Play Grounds is positioned to become a hub for the sport’s development in the region.

Technical Specifications and ITF Classification

The flooring system installed at Jurong Play Grounds has been tested and classified according to ITF Court Pace Classification Programme standards. This classification provides transparency regarding surface characteristics and helps tournament organisers, coaches, and players understand how the courts will perform.

Key technical attributes include:

Friction Properties: Medium coefficient of friction (COF) suitable for pickleball’s quick gameplay Energy Restitution: Appropriate bounce characteristics for standard pickleball balls Surface Consistency: Minimal variation across all court areas Weather Resistance: Formulated for Singapore’s high humidity and intense UV exposure

Not only a trend, but it is a future 

The completion of the Jurong Play Grounds facility marks an important development in Singapore’s sports infrastructure.
