Sports & Playground Construction in Huntsville, AL
From tournament-ready tennis and pickleball courts to safe, durable playground surfaces, Kennedy & Sons builds top-to-bottom recreation spaces that perform for decades. Backed by 80+ years of family construction expertise and our signature DuraLook surface system.
Top-to-Bottom Court & Playground Construction
A sports court or playground is more than a surface — it's a foundation, a drainage plan, a precise coating system, and crisp game-line striping working together. Through our KennedyKourts brand, we handle ground-up court construction, and our proprietary DuraLook premium granulated rubber surfacing covers everything from brand-new courts to resurfacing existing ones.
Whether you're a Madison homeowner wanting a backyard pickleball court, a Huntsville school refreshing a worn basketball surface, or a country club planning new pool deck surfacing, every phase happens in-house — site prep, base work, DuraLook installation, and final striping. Same Kennedy & Sons construction expertise, top to bottom.

Court & Playground Construction Questions
Common questions from Huntsville homeowners, schools, and facility managers about sports and playground construction.
QWhat sports can be played on a Kennedy multi-sport court?
Our multi-sport courts are designed for basketball, pickleball, volleyball, badminton, and recreational track and field. We stripe the surface in different colors so multiple sports can share one court without confusion during play.
QHow does the DuraLook surface handle Huntsville weather?
DuraLook is engineered specifically to handle North Alabama's humidity, summer heat, and freeze-thaw cycles. The acrylic coating system resists fading, cracking, and slipping when wet, giving you a consistent playing experience year-round.
QHow do you handle drainage on outdoor courts?
Proper drainage starts with the base. We grade the sub-base with a precise slope (typically 1% across the court) and install drainage where the site requires it, so water sheets off naturally instead of pooling on the surface or undermining the base.
QAre your playground surfaces ADA-compliant?
Yes. Our poured-in-place playground surfacing meets ADA accessibility requirements and ASTM impact-attenuation standards, making it a great fit for schools, parks, daycares, and any public-use playground.
QHow long does it take to build a court or playground?
A single-court residential pickleball or tennis project typically takes 2-4 weeks from site prep to final striping, weather permitting. Larger multi-court or playground projects vary based on scope — we'll give you a clear timeline at your free quote.
QHow much does a sports court or playground cost?
Costs vary significantly based on size, site preparation, surface type, and accessories like fencing or nets. A residential pickleball court is one of the most affordable options; large multi-sport facilities are a bigger investment. We provide transparent pricing after a free on-site consultation.
QDo you resurface existing courts, or only build new ones?
Both. KennedyKourts handles ground-up new construction, and our DuraLook surfacing system is also used for full sports court resurfacing and restoration on existing tennis, pickleball, and multi-sport courts. If your current surface is cracked, faded, or losing traction, resurfacing is often a fraction of the cost of a full rebuild.
QCan DuraLook be used on pool decks?
Yes. DuraLook premium granulated rubber surfacing is one of the best options for pool deck resurfacing — it stays cool underfoot, provides excellent slip resistance when wet, and comes in 15+ decorative colors. It's an ideal upgrade for residential pools, country clubs, and community pool facilities.
