basketball courts

Hoops and hardwood

Basketball courts are the rectangular playing surfaces where basketball is played, marked with boundary lines, a center circle, free-throw lanes, and three-point arcs.

Courts vary in size between professional, college, and recreational play.

The term often refers to outdoor public courts: We spent every summer afternoon at the basketball courts in the park.
