Space for Play

In urban areas, sports facilities often compete with housing and infrastructure, while residents are sensitive to additional noise. Investments must therefore be economically viable, durable, and environmentally responsible. Solutions are needed that require little space, gain community acceptance, and are ecologically sound.

The PolyPlay Arena GT is a mini pitch arena with a modular perimeter system made from 100% recycled artificial turf, conserving resources while providing long-lasting fun. Developed by Polytan in collaboration with FormaTurf, it is designed for municipalities, clubs, and urban living spaces – transforming limited areas into places for activity and maximum enjoyment.

BASE LAYER

The base for perfect play is built on a subbase provided on-site in accordance with DIN 18035. On top of this – depending on the surface type – a Polytan elastic layer or base layer for artificial turf or synthetic surfaces is installed. This ensures the required shock absorption and particularly protects joints.

Compared to hard surfaces such as asphalt, concrete or clay, the soccer court or mini pitch offers significantly more comfort, a more pleasant running feel, and a "soft" landing in the event of falls or fouls. The elastic construction ensures optimal force reduction, high enjoyment and a high-quality, long-lasting playing experience.

Playing Field

Our PolyPlay Arena GT uses particularly durable and versatile surface systems. Depending on requirements, textured artificial turf systems from the LigaGrass family or the all-round surfaces PolyPlay S and PolyPlay SE are used.

The robust surfaces are ideal for intensive football play and a variety of ball sports – whether on school grounds, club facilities, recreational areas or in public spaces. They impress with pleasant playing characteristics, good ball bounce behaviour and low maintenance requirements. Thanks to their water permeability, the pitches dry quickly and can be used year-round as all-weather surfaces.

The German Football Association (DFB) also relied on the quality of a textured Polytan artificial turf from the LigaGrass family as part of its project "1,000 Mini Pitches for Germany".

Barriers & Accessories

The innovative 1m high barrier of the PolyPlay Arena GT is made of recycled artificial turf, which is particularly noise-reducing and durable. On the goal sides, a 2m high net is additionally installed on each side. The playing field can easily be fully enclosed with side nets and a roof net construction. All equipment such as nets and goals is also available in a vandalism-resistant version. We are also happy to advise you on the possibilities of different floodlight systems for time-independent use of the court.

Field Sizes

Our mini pitches (PolyPlay Arena Soccer Court) are available in the standard sizes 15 x 10 m, 20 x 13 m (DFB dimension), 30 x 15 m and 40 x 20 m. We are also happy to offer you a custom size tailored to your needs. Please contact us with your enquiry.

Logos & Custom Courts

Mini pitches open up attractive opportunities for the effective placement of club badges as well as sponsor and partner logos. Whether on the barriers or integrated directly into the playing field – multicoloured designs on the artificial turf create eye-catching highlights. This visible presence increases the value of the facility and at the same time provides a compelling argument for attracting and retaining sponsors.

The New Generation of Mini Pitches

The PolyPlay Arena GT combines sporting functionality with sustainable material innovation for the first time. It was specifically designed for long-term use in urban spaces and meets the requirements of municipalities, clubs and operators who think long-term. The PolyPlay Arena GT offers a solution that brings together ecological responsibility, technical durability, and community acceptance.

Play needs space And consideration

Mini pitches are lively places. Where there is play, there is movement, energy and naturally also noise. This is a sensitive issue, especially in urban areas. Sustainable urban development therefore means not only enabling play, but integrating it responsibly.

This is exactly the starting point for the PolyPlay Arena GT. Its innovative barrier system, using FormaTurf’s FlexBlock, significantly reduces ball-impact noise compared with conventional solutions, making the arena better suited to noise-sensitive locations. The result is a space that encourages activity while remaining considerate of its surroundings.

Old sports surfaces
give new life
One pitch goes, nine emerge

Old artificial turf pitches are often disposed of after their useful life, meaning valuable materials are lost from the cycle even though they still have potential. This is where FormaTurf’s FlexBlock introduces a new approach. From worn-out artificial turf, a barrier system made entirely from recycled material is created – a direct, visible contribution to a functioning circular economy.

The PolyPlay Arena GT not only encourages movement, but also rethinks resources. From a single artificial turf pitch, around nine standard courts in the 20 × 13 metre format can be created. Each individual court uses approximately 800 square metres of old artificial turf in its barrier elements.

Sustainability is therefore no longer an abstract promise – it becomes concrete, tangible, and measurable.

FormaTurf FlexBlock

The FlexBlock sets new standards in sports facility construction. This innovative and modular building element made of 100% recycled artificial turf offers versatile applications.

The FlexBlock can be easily and precisely assembled into stable barriers or wall elements. It is manufactured using a patented production process from the sustainable material FormaTurf Composite.

Thanks to its solid construction, the FlexBlock delivers high stability, durability, and low noise levels on ball impact. This makes it ideally suited as a pitch barrier for mini pitches, multi-courts, and football courts.

Added value for everyone

Municipalities
and Politics

The PolyPlay Arena GT sends a visible signal for activity and sustainability in public spaces. It generates strong citizen approval, strengthens social cohesion, and is seen as a positive future project. With the option of direct sales, implementation can also be carried out efficiently and flexibly.

Clubs and
Schools

Polytan mini pitches have established themselves as an attractive meeting place for children and young people. In addition to year-round use, they can be used for multiple sports – from football to basketball and beyond. Thanks to modular expandability, the arena can grow flexibly with changing requirements.

BUSINESSES

For businesses, the PolyPlay Arena GT provides an appealing sports facility directly on company premises. It encourages activity, team spirit, and employee health, while making sustainable commitment visible – both internally and externally.

Today innovation,

A unique
success story

The PolyPlay Arena GT represents a new generation of urban play solutions. Whether with artificial turf for football or synthetic surfaces for multifunctional use, the sustainable mini pitch can be flexibly equipped. Our LigaGrass artificial turf and PolyPlay synthetic surfaces have proven themselves as key products over the years.

What began with the DFB campaign "1,000 Mini Pitches for Germany" launched in 2007 is today a unique success story. With around 100 mini pitches per year, Polytan is the largest and most successful provider of football courts and multi-courts.
