Renovate Mayfair Park Basketball Court
This project rebuilds and remodels the basketball court at Mayfair Park.
The basketball court at Mayfair Park currently has only 2 hoops. Several years ago, there were four hoops, centered on each side of the court. The community decided to remove 2 hoops to prevent frequent altercations, caused by people taking over the court as 1 giant full-sized court, rather than sharing the court which would accommodate 4 smaller games.
Mayfair Park Advisory Council is leading an effort to expand the basketball capacity in Mayfair Park. By creating a new configuration offsetting the hoops, there can be 4 games of basketball played simultaneously, which helps Mayfair Park better serve teenagers and adults. In addition, the court can be re-lined and repurposed to play other sports like pickleball or roller hockey. These changes will help Mayfair Park be enjoyed by more Mayfair neighbors and can expand Chicago Park District programming at Mayfair Park.

No plans have been drawn or finalized so this topic is still conceptual. There are pickleball courts in existence that have temporary netting set up as dividers to prevent each court from disrupting each other. If Mayfair's court were to have this feature it would need to be (and would be) completely removeable to facilitate when the court is set up for basketball or other purposes. Or we would just omit this piece to make it simpler to manage, store equipment, and set up. The park district staff would be in charge of regulating time and setup for each sport on the surface.
