Court Dimensions Planner

Measure the usable rectangle in your yard, enter it below, and see what actually fits. Playing dimensions come from the sports' governing bodies; the recommended totals add the run-off room that makes a court pleasant instead of cramped.

Measure the largest clear rectangle: no septic fields, easements, big roots, or slopes steeper than a gentle grade. We check both orientations automatically.

Bonus planning note: a north-south long axis is the commonly recommended orientation for outdoor courts, so low sun stays out of players' eyes.

Your rectangle60 x 30 ft

Here is what that space can honestly hold, from most comfortable to not yet.

Pickleball Fits with room
20 x 44 ft playing lines (the court itself)
Recommended: 30 x 60 ft commonly recommended minimum pad
USA Pickleball publishes the 20 x 44 ft court and recommends larger total playing surfaces
Badminton Fits with room
20 x 44 ft doubles court lines
Recommended: About 26 x 56 ft with modest run-off room
The Badminton World Federation doubles court is 20 x 44 ft
Basketball shooting pad Fits with room
20 x 25 ft pad with hoop, key, and free-throw line
Recommended: Same: the pad is the footprint
A common backyard pad size; the free-throw line sits 15 ft from the backboard
Basketball half court Fits, tight
30 x 50 ft common backyard half court
Recommended: 42 x 50 ft is half of a regulation 84 x 50 ft high school court
High school courts are 84 x 50 ft under NFHS rules, so a true half is 42 x 50 ft
Basketball full court Not yet
50 x 84 ft regulation high school court
Recommended: Add run-off: roughly 60 x 94 ft total
NFHS high school courts are 84 x 50 ft; college and NBA are 94 x 50 ft
Tennis Not yet
36 x 78 ft doubles playing lines
Recommended: 60 x 120 ft standard recommended court area
The ITF rules define the 36 x 78 ft court; 60 x 120 ft is the standard construction envelope
Putting green Fits: shape it to the space
No governing dimension: backyard greens are free-form, typically about 200 to 1,000 sq ft, shaped around trees and slopes.

Fits, tight means your space clears the playing lines but not the recommended total, so expect cramped run-off and plan fencing carefully. Local setback rules can shrink your usable rectangle: check with your building department before committing to a footprint.
