The Technical Edge: Why We Chose US Open-Quality Laykold Surfaces

By: Curtis & Nikki Schriever, Owners – Pacific Playgrounds Oceanside Resort

Pacific Playgrounds Oceanside RV Resort broke ground in April toward bringing a professional-grade experience to Vancouver Island. We are thrilled to announce that our new facility will feature four elite courts surfaced with Laykold, the same technology used on the world’s biggest stages.

Why Surface Quality Matters

When we designed these courts, we had one goal: Longevity. Many players find that traditional hard courts can be punishing on the body. We chose the Laykold Pickleball system because it’s engineered for more than just a consistent bounce, t’s built to protect the athlete.

Protecting Your “Healthspan”

Nikki and I didn’t want to build just any court; we wanted a surface that supports your long-term health. By reducing the stress on knees, ankles, and hips, our courts allow you to play longer sessions and recover faster.

“When we chose Laykold,” Nikki says, “we weren’t just thinking about today’s match. We were thinking about the next decade of play. Our guests deserve a surface that supports pain-free movement so they can stay active well into their senior years.”

Tour-Certified Performance

Beyond the comfort, there is the performance. Laykold surfaces are trusted by four of the world’s top six hardcourt tournaments. For the serious player, this means:

• Consistent Bounce: No “dead spots” or unpredictable skids.
• Superior Traction: The US Open-quality acrylic topcoat provides the perfect grip for quick lateral moves.
• Stunning Aesthetics: While the ocean views provide the backdrop, the vibrant, professional finish of the courts completes the premium feel.

Coming June 15, 2026

Construction is well underway for our Father’s Day grand opening! These will be the most premium pickleball courts in the Comox Valley and a true standout for any RV resort on Vancouver Island.
