Free sports facility and equipment blocks for AutoCAD (DWG): gym, lockers, sauna, stadium, playground

About the sizes

There is no single standard for these items. The footprints are typical sizes of commercial equipment, the clearance zones follow common practice and the pool, playground and stand items use the usual sizes of each trade. Safety distances, accessibility widths and fall zones are set by the rules that apply to your project, for example the standards for playground equipment and surfacing, accessibility regulations and the rules of the sport.

The blocks are our own drawings, simplified to what matters on a plan, and the library is not certified. It is meant to lay out a facility, not to prove that a layout meets a safety standard. Check the data sheet of the product you choose and take safety zones, escape routes and accessible widths from the rules that apply.

Frequently asked questions

Which items are in the library?

Gym equipment, cardio machines, strength machines and racks, fitness studio layouts, lockers and changing rooms, showers, saunas and spa items, stadium seating, gates and officials' positions, playground equipment, skate park elements, pool equipment, nets and fences, floodlight poles, clubhouse and site furniture, and 3 layout markers. The page above lists every group with its count.

Do the machines match a manufacturer?

No. The footprints are typical sizes of each kind of machine. Use the block to plan the room and the clearances, then replace or stretch it to the exact size from the data sheet of the product you choose.

Can I use the symbols in commercial projects?

Yes. They are free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. They are provided as is, without warranty.

Where are courts, goals and bleachers?

Courts, fields, goals, benches and bleachers are in the sports court library; this library adds the equipment, rooms and fittings around them. Doors, windows and bathroom fixtures are in the architectural plan library.

Can I change a symbol or add attributes?

Yes. Open the DWG, edit a block with BEDIT to change it or add attributes, and save. To update drawings that already contain the block, run ATTSYNC or replace the block. Make a backup first: attribute values can be lost if ATTSYNC is used carelessly.

Where do I find a ready-made set of these symbols for AutoCAD?

AutoCAD itself ships only a small set of sample blocks, so a full symbol set has to come from a library. Download the ZIP on this page and open the DWG: every symbol is a block. Insert one with INSERT (Blocks palette, Libraries tab, then pick the DWG) or drag it from DesignCenter (ADCENTER). You can also download a single symbol on its own.
