More than just Tennis Courts

We never cease to be amazed at the stories about how our courts are used. You name the game or sport and it has probably been played on an A.S.Lodge ‘Tennis Court’ – bike riding… yes, roller skating… yes, cricket… yes, even ice skating.

What’s more, if you’re planning a party, our tennis court becomes the perfect site for a marquee. When it’s all finished and everything is packed away, the tennis court becomes perfect for…. tennis!

 

  • Cricket – The same high-grade polyethylene that is used on the first-class synthetic cricket wickets is used on our courts ensuring that budding cricketers can sharpen their skills on the court without inflicting any damage on the surface.
  • T Ball & Softball – The total enclosure of the court allows for full practice room for T Ball, Softball and similar bat and ball sports.
  • Volleyball – When you have a crowd of people your A.S. Lodge Tennis Court can be quickly changed into a volleyball action court, where up to 20 players can shoot it out.
  • Basketball – Adding an International style backboard and ring means that the young and not so young can attain the ‘heights of the stars – slam dunk!
  • Netball – Our adjustable height netball ring allows even the youngest aspiring players to ‘achieve’ success.
  • Golf – When the day is done and the legs are tired, a golf putting competition will extend the fun and keep skill levels high.

Tennis Player, Yarra Glen

Everyone at AS Lodge were always helpful and willing to assist with any concerns we may have had. 

P. Kounnas, Doncaster

Your integrity and control of yesterday's situation was most reassuring that I had made the correct decision in choosing your company.

J. Pokinhorne, Mill Park

A S Lodge carried out a full resurfacing of our 28 year old tennis court with a new concrete base and synthetic grass. From the initial discussions with Richard and innovative approach to the final sign off with Sandy the complete experience was one of minimal inconvenience and complete satisfaction.

The concrete team and then the grass laying team were efficient and extremely fast in their execution of their tasks.

The finished result is what looks like a brand new court.

We are extremely satisfied in our choice of A S Lodge, and would recommend them to anyone in the future.

Once again thanks for a great project.
