An activity-filled heaven fit for kids - After adding a layer of artificial grass to help avoid injuries, many elements can be introduced in an effort to make a more heady and thrilling space, such as a zipline, a Ping Pong table or a Pool table. For a beach-themed ambience, dump a huge load of sand and pebbles in one corner and add a firepit in the middle, surrounded by small decorative logs and a batch of jumbo hammocks.
Make it a sport-y time - For parents who have sports- and/or exercise-centric children, a sports court installation is a no-brainer. Although both basketball and tennis courts are the most popular, these kinds of backyard sports court are also used for roller hockey as well as being utilized in the construction of indoor gym floor surfacing too. In certain models, the tennis court area can be modified for playing badminton and volleyball.
