Asphalt is an ideal material for many recreational facilites as it offers a smooth surface without sacrificing the surface's capacity to be slip-resistant. Asphalt basketball courts, tennis courts, and recreational walking paths provide low-cost, low-maintenance pavements that are more appealing and flexible than concrete alternatives.

Asphalt is increasingly being used to pave bicycle and golf cart routes as asphalt offers low-cost and quick paving solutions. Asphalt surfaces also enable better drainage. An asphalt-rubber mix is commonly used to construct track and field surfaces.

Owing to superior flexibility and outstanding waterproofing properties, asphalt offers better alternatives for several industrial applications. Asphalt is chemically inert, thus, is a dependable and safe substance for water retention and storage. Several dams and reservoirs use asphalt due to its flexibility, nontoxicity and waterproofing properties; due to asphalt’s waterproofing properties, it is commonly used for the construction of roofs and basements.
