Hoop in Central Park with Court Closed At 9PM on it

Looking for a place to shoot some hoops?

Regular pickup games:

• Sundays @ 8:00 a.m.

Public basketball courts:

• Central Park
  

• 1 half court - isn't it lit?
  

• La Playa Park
  

• Manor Park or Slide Hill Park — pretty close to regulation height
  

• Oak Grove Park
  

• Pioneer Park
  

• Third and B teen center
  

• West Manor Park
  

• Willowcreek Park — half court
  

• Stonegate Country Club — pseudo-public: must be a CC member (or rent from someone that is, or know someone that is and doesn't use their membership). Hoops are generally way too low, which leads to people dunking, which exacerbates the situation.
  

• Mace Ranch Park

Lighted outdoor courts:

• Chestnut Park
  

• Hacienda Park
  

• Playfields Park - I think they stay lit until 12. I may be wrong.
  

• At the western end of Research Park Dr.
  

• 2 half courts. in good shape.

Indoor courts:

• The ARC
  

• Hickey Gym
  

• Neither of these are open to the general public. In fact, evening and weekend rec. ball isn't scheduled at Hickey at all, as of April 19th.

Apartments with courts

• Allegre Apartments
  

• 1 full court
  

• Arlington Farms Apartments
  

• The Lexington Apartments, on the southeast edge
  

• Silverstone Apartments
  

• Tanglewood Apartments
  

• Temescal Apartments
  

• 1 full court. crappy. lots of rocks and dirt on the court.

Schools with outdoor courts

• Any Davis elementary school
  

• Their hoops are usually misaligned, but are really forgiving.
  

• Any Davis Jr. High.
  

• Emerson's hoops are all 4-6" too low. They resurfaced their courts a few years back and never raised the hoops to match.
  

• The new Jr. High has nets! Haven't measured the hoop height yet.
  

• Dairy Basketball Courts near the south end of the Dairy IM Field on UC Davis campus.
