Painted playground games for schools

Playground & School Games

Durable painted playground games for schools, daycare and public playgrounds. Serving Christchurch, Auckland and nationwide.

Painted Playground Games for Schools Across New Zealand

At Line-Marking.co.nz, we specialise in painting colourful, durable playground games directly onto concrete and asphalt surfaces. Unlike thermoplastic stickers that can peel, crack, and fade, our painted games are applied using high-quality floor paints that bond to the surface and withstand years of play, foot traffic, and New Zealand weather.

Our hand-painted playground markings bring colour, fun, and learning to school yards across Christchurch, Auckland, and all of New Zealand. From classic hopscotch to educational number grids, every design is carefully measured and painted on-site by our experienced team.

Our Painted Playground Games

One of our most popular designs, the Space Track is a colourful fitness trail painted directly onto the playground surface. Featuring bright painted stars, planets, aliens, a moon, and a balance trail, children follow the winding path completing activities at each station. Great for PE lessons, break-time fun, and encouraging active play.

Hopscotch

Our rainbow hopscotch designs are bright, durable, and perfectly sized for children of all ages. This design features colourful numbered squares with rainbow arches, painted clouds, and stars - turning a classic playground game into a work of art. Painted directly onto concrete or asphalt using hard-wearing floor paint that lasts through years of play and weather.

Why Painted Games Instead of Thermoplastic?

Superior Adhesion: Paint bonds directly into the concrete or asphalt surface, creating a seamless finish that won't lift or peel like thermoplastic stickers.

Cost-Effective: Painted playground markings are more affordable than thermoplastic alternatives, making them ideal for schools and councils on a budget.

Smooth Surface: Unlike thermoplastic which sits on top of the surface and can become a trip hazard, painted games are flush with the ground.

Easy to Refresh: When colours fade after years of use, painted markings are simple and affordable to repaint without removing the old surface.

Custom Designs: Paint allows for fully custom designs, colours, and sizes to suit any playground layout or school branding.

Weather-Resistant: Our floor paints are designed to withstand New Zealand's climate — UV, rain, frost, and heavy foot traffic included.
