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

Schools And Playground Marking

Site Assessment

We visit your school or facility, assess the surface condition, and talk through your goals, whether that’s refreshing old playground markings for schools or designing a completely new layout from scratch.

Schools And Playground Marking

Design and Layout

We’ll put together a marking plan that balances creative play areas, safe pedestrian routes, and any sports court requirements. We’re happy to work from a brief or collaborate directly with your team to get the design right.

Surface Prep

We clean and prepare the surface, removing old or faded markings where needed. Good prep is what separates markings that last years from ones that peel within months.

Schools And Playground Marking

Application

Using NZTA-approved paints and materials, we apply court and playground line painting with precision. We minimise disruption and, where possible, schedule work outside school hours.

Final Walkthrough

Before we leave, we walk the site with you to confirm everything meets the brief and that you’re happy with the result.
