Jack Robins Memorial Stadium is the home of basketball in Nelson, on Neale Avenue in Stoke. The Nelson Basketball Association, founded in 1968, owns the stadium and runs from it. It is a single-court stadium with offices attached, and the website says it was built by players and supporters who wanted the game to have a home in Nelson. The association says it has about 2,500 members, and it runs leagues from miniball through to seniors, five nights a week. Its competitions run all year, from junior 3x3 miniball for Years 3 and 4 up to the senior club competition, which includes players from the Nelson Sparks and Giants. Some games are played at the five-court Saxton Stadium at Saxton Fields.
Nelson has a strong representative history, and the website names Tall Blacks, Tall Ferns and NZ Breakers players, along with national age-group representatives, among those it has produced. The association says it is committed to development opportunities for athletes of all ages. The stadium is open to visitors who want to see the association's office or get in touch about the game in Nelson.
