The Brisbane City Council in association with GIO Australia has recognised the popularity of basketball in Brisbane and established measures to aid the development of the game in Brisbane. Together, they embarked on a city-wide project, which has resulted in over 100 half courts being built in inner-city and suburban areas. Many of these half courts are located in park areas and are for the community's use free of charge. They are an excellent way to shoot a few hoops or enjoy a social game of one-on-one. Check the city council website for the different locations. Review © 2007, Wcities |
