Public basketball courts live or die by their surface and upkeep. Look for a smooth, even surface without cracks or puddles, hoops with intact nets and rims, and clear line markings. Outdoor courts get slippery after rain and hot in the afternoon sun, so check the weather and bring water. Bring your own ball, wear shoes with good grip, and warm up properly, as ankle and knee strains are common. Many public courts run on a casual pick-up basis, so read the room: ask to join a game, wait for a spot, and play fair. Regulars know the busiest times are after school and on fine weekend evenings, and that early mornings are best if you want space to practise your shot.
For players in Mount Eden, the courts at Potters Park on Balmoral Rd are a local place to shoot hoops.
