Fenced in Fun

Chris Gahan Reserve - Hornby Street, Windsor - 4 backboard slaps

Pros: Full court with line markings, fully fenced, net at one end, half net at the other, not too busy, water bubbler

Cons: Long way to walk around if the ball bounces over the fence, no BBQ (this is important after Windsor Siding), lots of lines on the court (tennis/netball), which is confusing if you wear glasses (but didn't have them on) like me

Preferred Game: 3on3 or HORSE (good to try some shots over the fence)

Nice hidden basketball court in the backstreets of Windsor, located nice and close to the Windor Deli.  Court is open from Sunrise to Sunset, locked up at night as it backs onto a bunch of houses.

Windsor station and tram 6 & 79, 5 & 64 are pretty close by. 2 hour parking right out front of the park.

Windsor Siding - Windsor

Windsor Siding, Union St, Windsor - 4.5 backboard slaps
Pros: Full court, full markings, tarmac surface, bbq, sweet BMX track, wind protection
Cons: Unforgiving rings.
Preferred game: 5 on 5

L: This is my favorite court we've played on so far, it had a sweet chain net last time we were there, but it has since all tangled up.  Court is well protected from the elements and not very visable from the street, so it means my poor skillz aren't seen by everyone - and not many people use the court.  Free bbq is also handy, and there are bottle shops/pubs within a 2 minute walk for an after drink.  Tranport is also good, Wndsor station is a 30 second walk, with trams 78/6/64/5 all within 5 minutes.
