Serving Winnipeg & the Capital Region
Pickleball and multi-sport courts for Winnipeg backyards, built on a base that survives Manitoba freeze-thaw. Send your yard measurements and get a size recommendation and an estimated cost before anyone comes out.
Pickleball is the fastest-growing backyard sport in Canada, and one reason is size. The painted court is only 20 by 44 feet. With run-off room, a comfortable backyard court needs about 30 by 60 feet, and a compact version fits in less. That is a fraction of what a tennis court or full basketball court needs, which is why it works on ordinary Winnipeg lots and not just acreages.
The part that decides whether a court lasts five years or twenty is not the surface. It is the base. Winnipeg sits on heavy clay that holds water and moves through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter. A slab poured straight onto that clay heaves, cracks, and separates. A court built here needs deep excavation, a thick compacted crushed limestone sub-base, drainage, and either a reinforced slab or a properly engineered base before any surface goes down.
That is why we built Winnipeg Pickleball Courts around one job: helping Winnipeg homeowners get a court that is sized to their yard, priced in plain numbers before anyone comes out, and built on a base that is right for this ground.
We start with measurements, not a sales visit. Send the length and width you have to work with, a photo, and whether you want pickleball only or a multi-sport layout, and we come back with the court that fits and an estimated range. If the numbers make sense to you, the site visit and written quote come next.
Most Winnipeg courts are built between May and October, and the best ones are planned in winter so the crew can start as soon as the ground allows. A properly graded court also floods into a backyard rink in November, so one pad can carry two seasons.
From the first measurement to the last line, we handle the whole court: base, surface, lines, net, fencing and lighting.
Full-size, compact, and lines-only pickleball courts sized to the space you actually have in Winnipeg.

You send the length and width of the space, a photo, and what you want to play. We tell you which court fits: full 30 by 60, a compact layout, or a multi-sport pad, with an estimated range for each. No visit needed for this step.
We walk the yard, check grade, access for equipment, drainage, setbacks and where the sun will sit at playing time. Then you get a written quote with the scope, the base specification, and the surface you chose.
Excavation to 18 to 24 inches, geotextile, 8 to 12 inches of compacted crushed limestone, grading for drainage, and a reinforced concrete slab of at least 5 inches or an engineered base for modular tiles. Net post sleeves are set in concrete piles so they never shift.
After the base has cured, the acrylic sport surface or modular tiles go on, lines are laid to regulation, and the net, fencing and lighting are installed. You get a court that is flat, drains, and plays true.
A court company's job is not finished when the tiles click together. It is finished when the court is still flat after a Manitoba winter. Here is what that commitment looks like.
Send your measurements and get a court recommendation and an estimated range before any site visit. We publish our typical ranges on this page.
Every base we build follows the depth and compaction that Winnipeg clay and 40-plus freeze-thaw cycles demand. The base is where the money goes, because that is what lasts.
Modular tiles flex with frost movement and are replaceable section by section. Acrylic on a proper slab gives true bounce. We explain the trade-off and let you choose.
We're focused on Winnipeg and the Capital Region, not a national franchise call centre. We know the lots, the soil and the permit rules here.
Every yard is different, and your exact quote depends on access, grading, drainage, and the surface you pick. That said, homeowners deserve a straight answer instead of "call for pricing," so here are the typical ranges we see in the Winnipeg area in 2026.
| Service | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lines, surface coat and net on an existing sound concrete or asphalt pad | $4,000 – $9,000 | Depends on pad condition, crack repair, and whether a permanent net post system is added |
| Compact pickleball court (about 24 x 50 ft), modular tiles, proper base | $18,000 – $30,000 | Fits yards that cannot take a full 30 x 60 play area |
| Full pickleball court (30 x 60 ft), concrete base and acrylic sport surface | $25,000 – $45,000 | Reinforced slab, 7-layer acrylic surface, regulation lines, net system |
| Multi-sport court (40 x 60 ft), modular tiles, proper base | $22,000 – $40,000 | Pickleball plus basketball and volleyball lines on one pad |
| Full build with fencing, LED lighting and landscaping tie-in | $35,000 – $65,000+ | Containment fencing, lighting on fence poles, patio or retaining-wall integration |
These are typical ranges for the Winnipeg area, not a quote. Site conditions (heavy clay needing deeper excavation, uneven lots, drainage work, tight equipment access) push a project toward the top of a range. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after a site visit.
We publish these numbers because a court is a real investment and you should be able to budget for it the same way you would a deck or a patio. Send your measurements and we will tell you which row you are in and what moves the number.
Winnipeg Pickleball Courts serves Winnipeg and the surrounding Winnipeg Capital Region communities, including Headingley, Oak Bluff, East St. Paul, Niverville, Steinbach, and Selkirk. Each area has its own page below with local details on court installation.
We built dedicated coverage for these communities because the acreage lots around the Winnipeg city line are often the easiest places to fit a full-size court. Soil and frost conditions across the Capital Region are broadly similar, so homeowners in Headingley or Niverville get the same base specification and the same written-quote process as anyone in Winnipeg proper.
The lines are 20 by 44 feet. For comfortable play with run-off room, plan on 30 by 60 feet, and 34 by 64 feet if you have it. A compact court can work in roughly 24 by 50 feet. Send us your measurements and we'll tell you what fits.
A dedicated 30 by 60 pickleball court on a concrete base with an acrylic surface typically runs $25,000 to $45,000 in the Winnipeg area. Lines and a net on an existing sound pad is far less, and a full build with fencing and lighting is more. See the full table above.
Modular interlocking tiles flex with freeze-thaw movement and are the most forgiving residential choice here. Acrylic sport coating on a properly built reinforced slab plays truest. Asphalt is cheaper up front but softens in summer and needs more upkeep, so we rarely recommend it.
The pad itself usually does not need a residential permit, but fencing over 1.2 metres often does, and lighting that needs electrical work needs an electrical permit. We confirm the current rules with the City of Winnipeg or your municipality as part of the quote.
