F08.66 - Sports Facilities

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The Primary Function of a Tennis Court Perimeter Enclosure is to keep tennis balls in and uninvited traffic out. It also serves as a barrier to prevent players from colliding with fixed objects and spectators. It prevents players from running onto irregular or slippery surfaces or into dangerous adjacent areas. Enclosures need to respond to secondary functional requirements, including; spectator viewing, screening the court from wind and visual distractions outside the court, and be as open and welcoming as security considerations permit. Tennis courts were once surrounded by a 10 ft (3050 mm) to 12 ft (3660 mm) high fence. In cases where security or dangerous adjacent conditions are an issue, this type of enclosure is still popular, but in most cases, tennis fences are a variety of heights and can accommodate lights, shade shelters, gates for players and maintenance, and can have completely open portions of the perimeter that lead to decks, grandstands or landscaping.  
5.2 The Intended Use of This Guide is to identify the specific functions and qualities desired of a tennis enclosure and offer recommendations on how to achieve them with a chain link fence, or other enclosure, for different type of tennis courts. Although this standard is focused on chain link fencing that makes up the majority of tennis enclosures, many of the recommendations are applicable to other traditional and new fencing options for tennis court enclosures that are available on the market. This Standard is intended primarily to guide those responsible for, or concerned with, the layout and design of perimeter enclosures for both private and public tennis courts, and where other standards may not apply.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide provides design recommendations that promote quality construction and aim to reduced maintenance of tennis court enclosures. This guide informs those interested in the design, layout and maintenance of tennis court fencing on the many details and features of such enclosures. This standard describes various types of fence fabric and framework material that are available and refers to other useful resource material for designing better-quality tennis court enclosures.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ABSTRACT
This guide covers safety and performance guidelines pertaining to in-ground skatepark facilities built primarily out of concrete and other designed materials. Any concrete materials and other designed materials intended to be used in the performance of the sports including skateboarding, inline skating and BMX biking shall be discussed. Other materials present in skatepark facilities include steel reinforcing and synthetic fibers. Physical properties such as concrete finish, surface flatness, and levelness shall be considered. In addition, expansion joints, filled control joints, and tooled control joints shall be discussed. Expansion joints should be placed where they are least likely to interfere with a wheel. Careful consideration to expansion joints location must be given, using the flow of skaters as critical design criteria. Size of control joint is not important. It must be a rigid control joint filler, which must be flush with the skating surface and close the joint completely. Also, joints should be placed where they are least likely to interfere with skate wheels, and a cut control joint is not possible. The placement of concrete on sloped radii or any areas incorporating a change in elevation is critical to the stability of the exposed steel material or concrete coping. The difficulty of achieving proper consolidation around the steel material and their reinforced attachments through the use of standard air removal consolidation techniques can lead to slumping and the creation of an air pocket around the steel material, which may not be visible during construction and may result in concrete failure on the riding surface. Skatepark signage, free standing or fixed fence, shall be provided and shall indicate the following: adult supervision of minors is or is not present; owner-operator emergency telephone numbers; emergency telephone numbers for medical, ambulance, and police; applicable regulations regarding the use of safety gear; presence of inherent risk in the participitation of skatepark activities; and drunk or users under the influence of drugs shall not participate in any skatepark activities.

ABSTRACT
This guide deals with the provisions for consistent safety considerations in the design and construction of new roller hockey rinks in order to reduce potential safety hazards. It is projected to standardize game conditions; establish guidelines that will provide a level of conformity for the purpose of competition and reduce potential hazards to players and game officials; and applies to the development of new arenas and to existing facilities that will be renovated. This guide takes into consideration that most ice hockey rinks with concrete surfaces can be acceptable for roller hockey. However, dasher boards must meet criteria respective of the specific activity. Facilities designed and constructed for roller hockey may not be acceptable for ice hockey use. Included in this guide are the structures and environment, player's bench and box, penalty benches and box, off-rink official's bench/box, signal and timing devices, dressing rooms, nets, rink floor design, illumination, emergency medical care, and signage.

ABSTRACT
This guide for the layout of the ice rink/arenas includes guidelines for developing an artificial indoor ice rink/arena. This guide describes systematic procedures and criteria for the development of the arena's appurtenant facilities. A description of several appurtenant facilities utilized in ice rink/arenas is included within the guide as examples of those that should be considered. The guidelines in the design and selection of ice rink/arena dehumidification equipment are presented in details. Many factors, including climate, can influence the selection of ice rink systems and other components. The ice rink system and other interior and exterior components should be thoroughly designed by an experienced, registered professional engineer or architect. The ice arena may include space for the ice rink, mechanical room, entry arena, participant changing areas, spectator, and administrative areas. The ice rink/arena structure shall meet minimum insulation U values and R ratings. The fire capacity of the building, classification of use, and intensity of patron use should be considered in the design process. Gasoline, propane, or natural gas may be used in the facility, and storage systems for these materials should be included into facility design and stipulated by state and local codes.
