Schools And Playground Marking
A grey concrete yard doesn’t have to stay grey. Playground markings for schools transform dull asphalt into active, engaging spaces where students play, learn, and move safely, all day, every day.
Lines don’t have to be straight and boring! We love working to make creative and fun spaces. At Total Linemarking Solutions, we deliver durable, vibrant floor markings for school playgrounds, sports courts, and shared outdoor areas across Wellington. Get in touch today to discuss your requirements.
Our School and Playground Line Marking Services
We can apply a range of coloured surfaces that inspire play, use creative symbols to help define area use and create areas that safely keep foot traffic and vehicle traffic in the right places. From bright playground line painting to non-slip coatings for safety, we can turn your rather mundane grey area into an inspiring space for outdoor concrete games.
Sports Courts and Playground Designers
Collaborate with TLS to create visually appealing and functional sports courts and playgrounds. Our creative line markings add vibrancy and playfulness to these spaces.
We mark out multi-sport courts, four-square grids, hopscotch, numbered grids, and custom game designs; all in durable, UV-stable paints that hold their colour season after season. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing faded playground markings, we’ll design a layout that makes the most of your available space.
Primary and Secondary School Line Marking
Student safety is paramount. TLS provides playground markings, pedestrian paths, and bus zones that promote safe traffic flow and security. Or turn your ordinary grey asphalt into a play area with bright colours and game markings.
For secondary schools, we also mark out sports courts, car park bays, and pedestrian crossings that meet pedestrian line marking standards, keeping students safe on and off the courts.

Safety and Visibility in School Environments
Clear, high-visibility playground line marking does more than look good; they actively reduce the risk of accidents. In busy drop-off zones, near car parks, and along pedestrian routes, well-placed playground line markings create visual cues that both students and drivers respond to instinctively.
At TSL, our school line marking solutions include:
- Zebra crossings and pedestrian pathways to separate students from vehicle movement
- Bus zone and drop-off area markings to manage traffic flow at peak times
- Non-slip surface treatments for wet-weather safety
- High-contrast colour combinations for maximum visibility
- Safety line marking that meets New Zealand school safety requirements
All materials we use are NZTA-approved and suitable for outdoor surfaces exposed to UV, rain, and heavy foot traffic.
Our School Marking Process
Who We Work With

Primary and Secondary Schools
From outdoor concrete games for junior students to sports court line marking for seniors, we provide playground marking for schools across all year levels.
We understand the school environment and can schedule jobs around your term calendar to avoid disruption.

Councils and Public Facilities
Councils managing public parks, recreation areas, and shared pathways trust TLS to deliver durable, high-visibility markings that hold up to year-round public use. We're familiar with Wellington City Council requirements and can advise on compliant layouts.

Early Childhood Centres
ECE centres have their own needs, requiring bright, engaging designs that spark imagination while keeping little ones safe.
We work with centre managers to create cheerful, age-appropriate playground road markings that parents and educators love.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of playground markings can you apply?
We apply a wide range of playground line markings, including sports court lines (netball, basketball, four-square), educational game designs (hopscotch, number grids, alphabet tracks), directional pathways, pedestrian crossings, and bus zones.
How long do playground line markings for schools typically last?
Most playground markings last 2–5 years, depending on the surface type, traffic volume, and weather exposure. High-traffic areas, such as four-square grids, often need refreshing sooner than lower-traffic zones.
We use premium, UV-stable paints to maximise longevity, and we’ll give you a realistic maintenance timeline once we assess your site.
Do you work around the school day?
Wherever possible, we schedule work outside school hours or during holidays to minimise disruption. Most playground road markings are touch-dry within 30 to 60 minutes, so the area can be reopened to students quickly if weather conditions are normal.
