What people say
Excellent basketball court. The flooring of the court is a plastic material, like square tiles that are all interconnected. It makes bouncing the ball a bit strange to play on and I would have preferred a concrete surface, but the plastic material is not bad and looks like it's purpose is for drainage. The line markings are excellent and the quality of the backboard and ring with net is excellent. Parking is beside the basketball court. Very nice atmosphere. I never ventured anywhere else in the park, there was football games going on at the time, nevertheless the park can definitely accommodate for huge crowds, it's spacious and the people are very freindly and courteous.
A great park to play basketball. Great rings, great surface and an awesome atmosphere. One of the best outdoor courts in Sydney.
Decent flat fields to play on. Couldn't find any taps or bubblers anywhere for water bottle refills
The Basketball Court is the home ground of the DBL. Pick up games are most Sunday mornings 10am to 12pm.
