The cost of building a basketball court can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, such as location, the type of court (indoor or outdoor), the materials used, and whether it’s a full-size or half-court. Below is a breakdown of typical costs:
1. Outdoor Basketball Court
– Basic asphalt or concrete court: Around $10,000 to $20,000. This includes the cost for materials, installation, and basic painting and markings.
– Premium outdoor courts: For a high-quality outdoor court with durable surfacing like acrylic or polyurethane, the price can range from $20,000 to $40,000 or more.
2. Indoor Basketball Court
– Basic indoor court: A simple indoor court in a residential setting can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $70,000, depending on size, flooring, and amenities.
– High-end indoor court: For professional-grade flooring, lighting, and additional features like sound systems or seating, the cost can go above $100,000.
3. Court Size
– A full-size court (94 feet by 50 feet) will cost more than a half-court (half the size of a full court), with prices for a half-court ranging from $6,000 to $15,000 for outdoor versions and around $20,000 to $50,000 for indoor versions.

– Basketball hoop: A good quality adjustable hoop can cost anywhere from $300 to $3,000 or more, depending on the brand and features.
5. Maintenance Costs
– Outdoor courts may require periodic resurfacing or repairs, which can cost $500 to $5,000 every few years, depending on wear and tear.
– Indoor courts will typically require cleaning and maintaining the flooring, which can cost several hundred dollars annually.
