5 backboard slaps - first court that's given me the tingles when I walked on it!
Pros - check the wiki and see who else has played on this court - pick from Kareem, Vince Carter, Dr J, and if you want to imagine playing someone a little kooky - RonRon Artest has hit the court at Rucker Park. The court has a soft, tennis court like surface with glass backboards and proper nets at both ends. Markings - only basketball with both the college, and NBA, three point lines. Located near the 155th and 8th Ave subway stop it's easy to get to. Jump on to the 3 line to 128th and you will be in fried chicken and soul food heaven!
Cons - well it's in Harlem, but Harlem's not what it used to be. The actual area is pretty quiet, and the subway station was eerily empty and rundown. Nobody was on the court today, but I'd imagine on the weekends and during better weather the court would be packed out and it might be impossible to get some court time - however there is a grandstand so you should be able to at least watch some quality ball.
