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.

Thank you for the reply. It would certainly be a different scenario if (for example) what would be in place are short netting partitions which go up and down for a defined period of hours rather than taller perimeter or chain link type fencing panels left up all the time. So it is helpful that you are providing some additional clarification. If there is a photo or park which illustrates this concept the additional info would be appreciated.
