Sport Court Specialties:
Sports Court Striping for Schools and Commercial Properties
Court lines wear differently than parking lot lines. They take shoe traffic instead of tire traffic, they get scrubbed and pressure washed more often, and the tolerance for a crooked line is far lower — players notice a three-point arc that is off before anyone notices a faded stall. So we treat sports court striping as its own kind of work, with its own layout step. It is not a quick add-on to a parking job.
Schools are the vertical we work in most around South Portland. The campuses in this service area include Lake Oswego High School, Lake Oswego Middle School, Lake Grove Elementary and Oak Creek Elementary, and the outdoor play areas at schools like those carry the heaviest use of any courts we mark — recess, PE, after-school programs, and weekend open play, all on the same slab.
Commercial work looks different. Apartment communities, HOAs, corporate campuses, churches and community centers usually want one court to do two or three jobs, and that is a layout conversation before it is a paint conversation. Call (971) 458-1987 for a free estimate and we will walk the court with you.
Basketball Court Line Marking
Basketball is the bulk of what we mark in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. A full court layout is a set of related lines — baselines and sidelines, the lane and free-throw line, the center circle and division line, and the three-point arc — and the arc is where most repaint requests come from, because it is the line that gets scuffed hardest and the one people argue about.
Before we chalk anything we ask which spec you play to. A high school program, a recreational league and a driveway-style half court are not the same layout, and the governing body your program plays under sets the answer. Tell us which one applies and we mark to it. We will not guess at a spec and we will not quote you dimensions off the top of our head — we confirm them against the standard your court answers to, then lay out from fixed reference points on the slab.
Half courts, key-only repaints and single-hoop play areas are common on apartment and church properties, and they are worth doing well. A clean key and a straight free-throw line make a small court feel like a real one.
Pickleball and Tennis Court Layouts
Pickleball has changed what property owners ask us for. Tennis courts are getting overlaid with pickleball lines, and unused hard courts at schools and HOAs are getting converted into two or four pickleball courts.
We mark pickleball to USA Pickleball specifications per the official rulebook — baselines, sidelines, the centerline and service courts, and the non-volley zone line that everyone calls the kitchen. Where pickleball goes on top of an existing tennis court, we use a contrasting color so both sets of lines stay readable and players are not hunting for the right boundary mid-point.
Tennis layouts follow the same rule as basketball: we mark the full set — baselines, singles and doubles sidelines, service lines, center service line and center marks — to whichever governing standard your facility plays under, which we confirm with you before we start.
Court-line elements we mark:
- Basketball: baselines, sidelines, lane and free-throw line, center circle, division line, three-point arc
- Pickleball: baselines, sidelines, centerline, service courts, non-volley zone line (USA Pickleball rulebook)
- Tennis: baselines, singles and doubles sidelines, service lines, center service line, center marks
- Multi-use overlays: contrasting colors per sport so each layout reads on its own
Playground Game Markings
Playground markings are the part of a school job that gets the loudest reaction. Four square, hopscotch, tetherball circles, kickball diamonds, number grids and running tracks cost less than a court and get used every single recess.
Most of the schools we talk to in Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin, West Linn, Milwaukie and Beaverton have a paved play area that has faded to almost nothing. We repaint what is already there, add games the staff asks for, and lay everything out so the games do not overlap into each other’s play space. Where a court and playground games share one slab, sequencing matters — court lines go down first, games fill in around them.
Scheduling is the other half of the job at a school. We work summer breaks, winter breaks, spring break and weekends so the play area is back in service when students are.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Court Striping in South Portland, OR
What kinds of sports court striping do you do?
We mark basketball courts including keys, free-throw circles, and three-point arcs; pickleball courts; tennis courts; volleyball and four-square layouts; and playground game markings such as hopscotch and running tracks. We stripe on existing asphalt and concrete play areas at schools, parks, apartment communities, and commercial properties across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties.
Do you work with schools?
Yes — schools are a large share of our court and playground work in this area. We stripe play areas, basketball courts, and game markings at elementary, middle, and high school sites, and we schedule around the school calendar so the work lands during breaks or outside teaching hours rather than in the middle of term. Call (971) 458-1987 to talk through timing for your site.
What layout do you use for pickleball courts?
We mark pickleball courts to USA Pickleball specifications, the governing body’s published court standard, so the court plays correctly and matches what players expect anywhere else. Pickleball is often added to an existing tennis or basketball court, and we can lay the lines in a contrasting color so both games stay readable on the same slab. We will walk the area with you and confirm what fits.
Can you add pickleball lines to a court that is already in use?
Yes. Overlaying pickleball onto an existing tennis or basketball court is one of the most common requests we get, and it does not require taking the original game out of service. The key is line color and sequencing so players can tell the two layouts apart at a glance. We confirm the available run-out space first, because a court that is tight at the baseline changes what can be fitted.
How long do court markings last?
Court lines take concentrated wear in specific places — the key and the baseline go first, while sidelines last much longer. Weather is the other factor here, with NOAA’s normals showing roughly 89% of the area’s yearly rain falling October through May, so outdoor courts spend most of the year wet. Most sites we work with refresh lines on a planned cycle rather than waiting until they are hard to read.
