Fun Meets Function
By Lea Currie
Backyards have come a long way from a creaking swing set on patchy grass. Today, families design outdoor spaces with the same care they bring to kitchens and living rooms – crafting environments that are inviting, thoughtful and built to last.
That philosophy of intentional design and lasting performance has long defined Athletic Flooring’s partnership with Sport Court, as the exclusive dealer and certified installer of Sport Court products in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario.
“This high performance surface is ideal for any sport, from basketball and volleyball to roller hockey and pickleball,” says Gary Weinberg, owner of Athletic Flooring. “Engineered with shock absorption and lateral forgiveness, it helps reduce stress on knees, backs and lower joints while minimizing the risk of ankle rolls during quick side-to-side movements.”
Durable and weather-resistant, Sport Court surfaces stand up to Manitoba’s freeze-thaw cycles and require minimal maintenance. During prairie winters, the surface can be transformed into an outdoor rink, extending its use year-round. Whether for casual family games or more focused training, the versatility makes it a smart foundation for active outdoor living.
Same standards, new structure
Building on that same commitment to quality and longevity, Athletic Flooring is expanding its offerings with Rainbow Play Systems, a line of premium, fully customizable play structures designed to grow with children.
Constructed from high-quality, splinter-resistant timber, Rainbow structures are modular and highly configurable. Families can choose from towers, slides, climbing walls, monkey bars and swings – then expand or reconfigure the system over time as needs evolve. Backed by one of the strongest warranties in the industry, Rainbow systems are built with safety and durability in mind.
“These systems reflect the same high standards we look for in every product we offer,” says Weinberg. “They’re safe, solidly built and made to handle years of active use.”
That same attention can extend below the structure itself by installing specialized playground surfacing, ensuring what’s underfoot is as carefully considered as what rises above it.
“We want backyards to inspire movement and connection,” says Weinberg. “From shooting hoops to climbing and swinging, every structure and surface we install is chosen to support real everyday family fun.”
From Sport Court surfaces to Rainbow Play Systems, Athletic Flooring creates backyards designed for activity, imagination and quality time together – spaces that can be enjoyed every day for years to come.
