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.

As the mom of a young teen, I'm very much in favor of this project. The court tends to become monopolized by young adults very often and for endless hours. My son rarely goes there anymore because it's always busy when he goes. So, having a clear division of 2 courts would be great! Maybe some rules or sign up sheets need to be put into place so that the younger teens can have some court time too. 👍
I know some may be concerned about late night basketball. I know that some parks remove their nets at night to prevent late night games... can't this be done here too?
