Four men reaching up towards basketball hoop

Basketball is a fun, fast-paced sport, and can be a great workout. You can hire a single hoop to practice shooting, a half hall, or whole hall for a game with your friends.  

We also have basketball courts in some of our parks.

Riverside Leisure Centre has basketball courts, which will be available to book on a pay as you go basis.
