Morris & Hudson St. Downtown J.C. nice location right next to the river, quiet location, but don't know what the competition is like. I use to play there often but ,I have not played there in awhile due to knee issues.

I don?t know about Washington Park, since that out of my way I think there?s courts ii mosquito park, Manhattan ave and Kennedy, but I don?t go there? just stay out of Pershing field and Lincoln Park too many wannabes out there?

You guys are funny. I will try out a couple courts and see which one I like the best.

I dont mind playing with a girl ;). ....(20-23).

But most parks around here have aggressive players. if your in the Heights go to Washington park since there are two b-ball courts. One is the original side (union-city) where most go test skills. The other side (new court, JC side) is for younger or beginners. Its not set in stone but thats just how it turned out to be now

The pickup games on the courts next to the Boys and Girls Club on Grand at the end of Grove seem to be pretty low-key. I never hear yelling or see any aggression - just people having a good time playing 2-on2 or 3-on-3. (I don't remember seeing a full court game, although they have two full courts that are in great shape.)

I am looking for some recommendations on good basketball courts in the area. I recently got into basketball at the gym but would love to play outside.

I enjoy pick up games but want to find a court that is not filled with mean, agressive players. Also, if I can find a court with players that don't mind playing against a girl that would be great.
