Silver Lakes PrecinctConcept proposal

Sports & Recreation

The precinct on an ordinary day

During normal daytime use, nets, posts and divider fencing are in place and several activities can run at the same time — subject to programming and appropriate ball-control fencing.

Conceptual layout — not for construction. Indicative proportions only. Existing surrounding context (tennis courts, clubhouse buildings, parking and golf course) shown greyed back for orientation only.

The hardcourt carries the four-court pickleball complex with the basketball hoop and netball post at opposite ends. The football area sits directly below it, divided by movable fencing and ball-retention nets into a teen and adult zone and two junior zones.

Different facilities can operate simultaneously. Scheduling and ball-control fencing determine which combinations work comfortably together on any given day.

Replace with photography or a render of daytime use.

What is available

Four adjoining pickleball courts

One compact four-court complex with removable perimeter and divider fencing, so the whole block can be opened up when needed.

Convertible three-on-three basketball

A single hoop at one end of the upper court area. Remove the adjacent pickleball net and the space becomes a compact half-court.

Convertible small-sided netball

A single post at the opposite end supports small-sided netball, which can run alongside basketball subject to programming.

Teen and adult football

The larger football zone, defined by movable fencing and portable goals for evening and weekend play.

Junior football zones

Ages 6–9 introductory and ages 8–12 development zones, regrouped session by session according to attendance.

Recreational volleyball

A removable net and discreet overlapping court markings turn part of the football area into a casual volleyball court.

Children's playground

Open throughout normal sports activities, separated from active play areas by low fencing and controlled gates.

Yoga and group exercise

Class-sized areas of the hardcourt, with the stage available as an instructor platform.

Walking and fitness activities

Perimeter circulation paths support walking groups, warm-ups and low-impact fitness at any time of day.
