Project Overview

Corinthian Park Tennis Club is a thriving club in Perth, Australia. The club works hard to meet the ever-changing needs of its members. For example: 

  • The club recently added pickleball markings (pickleball has only just reached Australia). 
  • New lighting has been installed to support the requirement for more night tennis, due to the hot temperatures in Perth and the wish for year-round tennis.  
  • The introduction of new social tennis programs, such as ‘Aces & Ales’, to encourage a new audience. 

The club also recently installed Laykold Masters Gel tennis courts to upgrade the playing experience with force reduction courts. This was not just to support older players, but also to ensure that junior players and coaches were benefiting from the improved shock absorption and reduced fatigue and injury. The club went through a formal evaluation process before selecting Laykold Gel.

In this video, Denzil Morrel, club president, and Laercio Lobo, club coach, along with Laykold installer Mark Tucker, discuss the process and the happy knees’ impact on the club.

About Laykold Masters Gel

Laykold has been a global leader in hardcourt surface technology for more than 75 years and is the Official Court Surface of the US Open. Manufactured in Melbourne under ISO 9001 quality standards, the Masters range combines international performance benchmarks with local production control.

Masters Gel features a permanent cushioning layer that manages impact while maintaining the speed and responsiveness expected of a premium surface. The system provides approximately 17 per cent force reduction, significantly higher than that of a conventional hardcourt, while preserving dynamic energy return.

Engineered for durability and long-term consistency, the surface retains its cushioning performance over many years of play and is finished with tournament-grade coatings.

Why Laykold Masters Gel Was Right for This Project

Corinthian Park required a surface capable of supporting high usage in a warm climate without increasing physical strain on players and coaches. The integrated cushioning layer reduces cumulative impact stress, helping to minimise fatigue and support recovery during sustained play.

At the same time, the system maintains consistent ball response and traction, ensuring competitive standards are preserved.

By selecting Masters Gel, the club strengthened its commitment to player welfare while investing in long-term surface performance.

Supplied by APT Asia Pacific and installed by West Coast Sporting Surfaces, the project demonstrates how advanced hardcourt technology can directly support participation and athlete longevity.
