Huirangi Primary School
By TigerTurf
The TigerTurf multi-sports court for Huirangi School in Taranaki has delighted the entire local community. The cleverly designed multi-turf includes a full-sized tennis court, with markings for basketball, netball and even a hockey pitch. The colourful court, set against the drama of Mt Taranaki, is the scene of hard-fought tournaments in the evenings and weekends, with more fun during the week for the students.

Sports Facility For The Whole Community
Huirangi School, in attractive countryside near New Plymouth, is part of a close-knit rural community. The school wanted to create a special community sports facility that could be used for tennis, netball, basketball and hockey by the locals and students.
Exciting Time Ahead
Having heard positive reports of TigerTurf Trophy, the school asked us to upgrade the ageing asphalt court into its own fabulous multi-sport Trophy court – nothing but the best for the students and community of Huirangi School.
Magical Multi-Court Ready For Action
The school’s existing asphalt court was in good enough condition to use as the base for the eagerly awaited multi-purpose court, saving the school money and time with a relatively simple installation of a rather complex facility.
After 3 days, the magical multi-court was ready for action. The intricate design of colours to define the separate sports works wonderfully well. The delineating lines are colour-coded for each sport, the larger pitch is a dark olive, while the inner playing area is a brighter olive green, and a brilliant blue border frames the fabulous court – simple when you know how.
The students have a facility that encourages them to try new sports, in fact any outdoor activity is much more fun on a TigerTurf Trophy court. Soft, colourful and dry all year round, the court provides the school with a ready-made recreational playground, assembly point, outdoor class work, in fact this is a true multi-purpose area for school use, and the pupils love their vibrantly coloured court.
But it is also a serious performance sports court. As TigerTurf Trophy is ITF certified, the community shares a top quality, full-sized tennis court with the school, and, as Trophyis one of the most durable surfaces on the market, this super multi-sports centre is going to be ready for action beyond 2030.

We’re one of the largest synthetic turf manufacturers in the world, but we started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1981. We still make almost all of our products in our Auckland factory, with materials manufactured by our parent company, TenCate Grass. Local manufacturing means that we can ensure quality is maintained throughout the process.

We've been in the synthetic turf industry for almost 40 years, and have also been instrumental in developing the products and systems that result in world class, top performing surfaces. We design, manufacture, install and maintain our surfaces, applying the innovation and expertise we've gained over the years into every project - large or small.

We control the quality and performance of every synthetic turf system we create, in our own factory, at every step of the production process. We control where and how our yarns are extruded. We control which products go into our fibres. We develop and manufacture our own backing cloths. We develop, manufacture and build the performance bases that we lay our turf systems over. And finally, we can recycle our old, end-of-life products into new, start-of-life products.
