Calling All Comers! All Nations Park - Northcote

A half court located in All Nations Park, just behind Northcote Plaza on Breavington Way

4.5 backboard slaps

A court with it all

Pros: A well marked tarmac half court, with an old skool chain net and backing fence. The area around the court has everything, a tennis wall, 4 square and 8 square courts, and shaded seating with chess tables! What more could you want? It's in the park so BBQs abound, there is a skate park next door and the shops are right across the road.

Cons: The court is a little uneven and if the ball goes out on the left sideline it can go down an embankment requiring a frantic chase! It's only a half court so there's only one ring, so you might have to wait your turn.

Preferred game: 4 on 4 tournament. Get 11 friends and have an afternoon of playing first to 11. Bring a tennis ball too for the all important 4 square action!

A Walk in the Park - Caulfield Park

Court is located closest to Inkerman Road in Caulfield North - Park is at the intersection of Inkerman Road/Balaclava Rd/Hawthorn Rd

2.5 Backboard Slaps

A pretty quiet park which is more accustomed to joggers, cricketers and dogs

Pros: Proper half court, with 3 point line and painted keys. Quiet court so won't be too much issue shooting around here.  If you have a dog it's a leash free park, so your dog can roam free while you bomb threes

Cons: Key doesn't have the blocks painted on, which makes around the word difficult, ring is a little bouncy and unforgiving, but in good nick, bit of a drop off at the concrete under the key, so be careful when your driving hard to the ring

Preferred Game: Horse

Court is a bit of a 'meh' court, nothing too good, nothing too bad.

There is a tennis wall alongside the basketball court with a water bubbler not too far away.

Trams 67, 16 & 3 run alongside the park, with the Caulfield/Malvern Train stations a short walk away.
