A quick Google search would have told you that it's a volleyball court. Please note my changes above. You need to write the relevant words and phrases in the main body of the post, not just in the title.

Before writing I have searched in the net actually. The problem is that I have found all the three possibilities. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=vol...nAhXKxMQBHa8qCwkQ7Al6BAgIEBk&biw=1351&bih=638 and https://3docean.net/item/volleyball-field/14388286; I have also found the term "ground".
