Apitch or asports ground is an outdoor playing area for varioussports. The termpitch is most commonly used inBritish English, while the comparable term inAustralian,American andCanadian English isplaying field orsports field.For most sports the official term isfield of play, although this is not regularly used by those outside refereeing/umpiring circles.^{[citation needed]} The field of play generally includes out-of-bounds areas that a player is likely to enter while playing a match, such as the area beyond thetouchlines inassociation football andrugby or thesidelines inAmerican andCanadian football, or the "foul territory" inbaseball.The surface of a pitch is most commonly composed ofsod (grass), but may also beartificial turf,sand,clay,gravel,concrete, or other materials. A playing field onice may be referred to as arink, for example anice hockey rink, althoughrink may also refer to the entire building or, in the sport ofcurling, to either the building or a particular team.In the sport ofcricket, thecricket pitch refers not to the entirefield of play, but to the section of the field on which batting and bowling take place in the centre of the field. The pitch is prepared differently from the rest of the field, to provide a harder surface for bowling.A pitch is often aregulation space, as in anassociation football pitch.The termlevel playing field is also used metaphorically to mean fairness in non-sporting human activities such as business where there are notional winners and losers.^[1]

Game court is one of the names for a multi-sport athletic space, typically constructed outdoors, where such games asbasketball,volleyball,paddle tennis and other racquet sports, and up to a dozen more games and activities can be played. They are usually smaller than a regulation tennis (120' x 60')or basketball (84'x50')court, although there is no set dimensions or size for a game court. The game-court concept was popularized by Sport Court in the 1970s, and some generic references are made to game courts as 'sport courts', although that is a trademark of Connor Sport Court International, LLC. Game courts are often found in residential backyards, giving families and children opportunities for healthy recreation close to home. Game courts are usually constructed using a rectangular sub-base made from concrete or asphalt, then covered with an open-grid modularpolypropylene (or similar) sports surface to improve safety. Most feature athletic equipment such as basketball goals, net systems for racquet sports, volleyball and badminton, lights for nighttime play, fencing or ball containment netting, hockey/soccer goals, lines or markings for various sports, and practice or training components can also be incorporated into the design.

The surface of a game court—as opposed to simply playing on concrete or asphalt—is designed for safe play and to reduce injury. Many people have started to usesuspended athletic courts to cover old athletic courts like tennis courts and basketball courts. The surface should provide appropriate traction for various types of sports and activities, as well as shock or force reduction to minimize overuse and stress injuries.Game courts are typically custom-designed to the interests of the family or organization, and are versatile in enabling a wide variety of sports to be played in a relatively small space. Some activities played on a game court are enjoyable modifications of other sports (such as short-court tennis) that allow for similar skills to be developed as the 'regulation' game, but on a reduced-scale court size. A typical game court of 50 by 30 feet (15.2 m × 9.1 m) might include a basketball key and 3-point line arranged around a hoop, overlaid by short-court tennis orpickleball lines (which can also be used forvolleyball orbadminton) along the longer dimension.

Game courts for private use will frequently be built with a high fence surrounding the surface to allow for containment of the ball used in play, and, if required, to prevent people from entering. Any of several materials have been used, includingchain-link fencing,welded wire mesh fence, and fabric mesh or netting.
