Creating Active Community Spaces – How Ross Roadmarkers Support Play and Participation

“Our goal is to create environments that encourage movement and participation,” says Mark Lobdell, General Manager at Ross Roadmarkers. “Whether it’s competitive sport or free play, our line markings help shape those spaces safely and professionally.”

At Ross Roadmarkers, we’re proud to help bring communities together through well-designed sports courts and playground markings across Auckland and beyond. From school playgrounds buzzing with lunchtime activity to local courts hosting weekend sport, our work supports spaces where people of all ages can move, play, and connect. 

Whether we’re refreshing a netball court, adding colour and creativity to a school playground, or marking out a new multi-sport area, our team delivers high-quality, long-lasting solutions that are safe, functional, and built for everyday use.

Making School Playgrounds More Fun and Engaging

Well-designed playground markings help create safer, more inclusive spaces where children can stay active, learn through play, and interact with others. By adding colour, structure, and clear zones, playgrounds become more engaging for students while supporting teachers and staff with better-organised outdoor areas. To achieve this, we deliver a range of creative and practical marking solutions, including:

  • Educational playground games like alphabet snakes, number ladders, and mazes
  • Hopscotch and game marking for traditional playground fun
  • Full playground design and marking services, customised to your school’s space, age groups, and budget
  • School yard line painting for daily activities, sports zones, and assemblies
  • Playground safety marking to help separate play areas from vehicle access or service areas
 
All our durable playground markings are applied using high-grade, slip-resistant paints and proper surface preparation to ensure long-lasting performance, even in harsh outdoor conditions. With nearly five decades of experience and a reputation for dependable, professional work, Ross Roadmarkers is the go-to team for sports and recreational marking projects across Auckland and the North Island. We work closely with every client to make sure markings meet practical usage needs, safety standards, and visual expectations.
