To anyone who is wondering if an outdoor basketball court is the right investment for your family, I say go for it. One of my neighbors has a court in their backyard and their kids are always outside playing on it. When their hcildren were younger, they used it as as place to ride bikes, roller skate, and even play soccer. Now that they are older, their teenage friends are often found outside hosting a basketball game of their own. Their house is the neighborhood hangout, and our neighbors always know where their kids are because they usually choose to hang out at home!
