At the Summit Amenity Center, the goal was to create comfortable, inviting outdoor spaces where residents could play, relax, and enjoy the amenities even during the heat of the day. Adventure Playground Systems delivered a custom shade solution that provides coverage across two of the community’s most popular gathering areas: the pickleball courts and swimming pool.
Over the pickleball courts, a super span shade structure provides expansive coverage while maintaining the open feel needed for active play. Integrated lighting extends the functionality of the courts, helping create a space residents can enjoy beyond daylight hours. The combination of generous shade coverage and lighting makes the courts more comfortable and versatile for recreational play, social matches, and community activities.
At the pool, the shade design takes on an entirely different look. A series of custom Polyfab commercial-grade sail shades stretch across the pool area in alternating turquoise and cappuccino, creating both functional coverage and a striking architectural feature. The varying sail sizes and elevations give the structure movement and visual interest while complementing the surrounding aquatic environment. The result is shade that feels like part of the overall amenity design rather than an afterthought. Residents have more opportunities to escape direct sun while enjoying the pool, and the bold sail configuration creates an instantly recognizable focal point for the space.
For HOAs, developers, and community planners, thoughtful shade solutions can dramatically improve how outdoor amenities are experienced. They help make pools, courts, playgrounds, and gathering areas more comfortable and usable while adding architectural character that can elevate the entire property. The combination of shaded pickleball courts, integrated court lighting, and custom poolside sail shades transformed existing recreational areas into more inviting destinations for the community.
