Surfacing
Surfacing
Surfacing plays a central role in how outdoor sports and activity spaces are used, maintained and enjoyed. Caloo supplies and installs a range of surfacing solutions designed for sports, fitness and active environments across the UK.
These surfacing systems are commonly installed in schools, parks and community facilities to support structured sport, informal activity and everyday movement. Surfacing can be delivered as part of a new project or used to upgrade existing outdoor areas.
What Is Sports and Active Surfacing?
Sports and active surfacing refers to specialist outdoor surfaces designed for areas where regular physical activity takes place. These surfaces are selected to suit specific uses such as sports courts, fitness areas, pathways and multi-use spaces.
Surfacing is planned to work alongside equipment, fencing and access routes, ensuring each space functions as a complete and practical environment.
Surfacing Designed for Active Outdoor Use
Surfacing used in sports and active environments must suit frequent use and varying weather conditions. Solutions are selected based on site layout, drainage requirements and the type of activity taking place.
This makes surfacing a key consideration in projects such as outdoor gyms, MUGAs, fitness trails and community activity areas.
Surfacing Options for Sports and Active Areas
Caloo supplies surfacing solutions suitable for a wide range of outdoor sports and activity settings.
Surfacing options include:
- Resin Bound Gravel
- SUDs Bond
- 3G Artificial Grass
- Daily Mile Tracks
Each surface type is suited to specific applications and can be installed as part of a new build or refurbishment project.
Integrated Design and Installation
All surfacing is installed as part of Caloo’s complete design and build service. Surfacing selection and installation are planned alongside sports equipment, outdoor gyms and activity features to ensure compatibility across the full site.
This integrated approach helps ensure outdoor spaces are practical, durable and easy to manage.
Refurbishing Existing Active Spaces
Surfacing can be replaced or upgraded as part of a refurbishment project to extend the lifespan of existing outdoor facilities. Refurbishment works may include resurfacing activity areas, improving drainage or updating layouts to suit changing use.
These projects are often combined with wider improvements to sports and fitness equipment.
Experience Delivering Surfacing Projects
Caloo has delivered surfacing projects across the UK for schools, councils and community organisations. Each project is planned around site conditions, intended use and long-term performance to support ongoing activity.
