Access control systems for public parks and other venues

Courtside access control allows you to grant access to facilities for customers who have booked, helps protect revenue, and allows you to run your venue unattended.

For floodlit venues, our lighting control system can operate the lights for individual facilities only during bookings which reduces running costs.

Please contact us for a no-obligation consultation.

We also have API documentation to help developers easily connect booking systems or other software to enable gate access and lighting control.

3 steps to open up your venue

1. Choose your solution

Upgrade your existing gate with our retro-fit system or install one of our brand new gate and frame sets.

Choose from black, silver or green colour options, and add floodlight control if needed.

2. Book your installation

Installation of your gate and activation of the lock usually takes a day.

Floodlight control integration with existing lighting system usually also takes a day.

3. Promote your venue

With your gate and floodlight control in place, you can focus on driving new users to your venue and generating income without any onsite presence.

Further optional support is available in terms of maintenance and customer service, from a team that has operated venues since 2015

A managed solution for unmanaged facilities

We are unique in having hands-on experience of operating 170 facilities in 40 locations, from Sheffield to Southampton. This operational expertise has shaped our access control system, driven its simplicity, and has proven to be a valuable tool for venues looking to open their facilities to the community.

Our optimised customer experience:

  1. The customer books a facility online
  2. They receive a confirmation email with their access code
  3. On arrival the code is entered on the keypad to get in
