Imagine this scenario: It's a nice spring Saturday, a…read moreperfect day to take pick-up basketball way too seriously. You have just scored 4 baskets in a row, telling the other team made up of accountants and construction workers "GET A HAND UP I'M TRYNA GET BETTER!" A crowd is gathering along the fence. The baddies running down the westside highway stopping to see what all the commotion is. "Who is that guy?" They wonder to themselves, subtly biting their lip. It's now game point, the Freedom Tower also has eyes it's on you as you call for an iso. The crowd anticipation is tangible. In and out cross, the defender buckles. Hard pound dribble to a step back as you let that thing fly...... BAAAAAANNNNGGGGG! But yeah, this court is great as the nets are fully intact and court is freshly paved. The upkeep is unmatched. Tompkins square park please take notes.

'An urban oasis' first comes to mind when I think about our first visit to Prospect Park. The…read moreoverall experience was certainly positive, with some fine points. As a visitor to the city, finding parking on a weekday afternoon was near impossible, until it became possible after what felt like 25 minutes of searching for a spot. The park is truly sprawling and there are many places to explore, including pavilions, bridges, falls, a pond, a creek, and endless paved trails. We also couldn't help but notice that the park overall may not have been maintained consistently, based on the extensive weeds in fountains, for instance. We saw at least two cafes that had pastries, sandwiches, and beverages on their menu that looked good enough to make us think we'd definitely go there if we lived locally. All in all, I'm grateful for this space being available for locals and visitors to enjoy, and hope it is maintained and stays open for many more years.

I do prefer weekday visits myself. The walking/bike paths are a great way to see the park in its entirety. Plenty of green space for a picnic, playing frisbee, etc. Playground and splash pads as well. Of course, I can't forget the lake with all of the ducks splashing about. It's really a wonderful way to spend a day in Brooklyn, getting away from it all.

Coach Gio and Kyle are always very helpful in ensuring the players practice their drills and understand the fundamentals of the sport while having fun and teaching them sportsmanship on an off the court. They offer travel games but also have in-house league games, so the kids learn offense and defense while working together as a team. BBA has also helped my son develop emotionally as a young man with the positive influence of his coaches. He was allowed to volunteer this summer and help coach the younger groups, which has only helped him love the game even more and understand the importance of mentorship. BBA not only has one of the nicest indoor basketball courts in Brooklyn, but it's also a great environment. They have built a community, not just an academy.

Shout out especially to Ashley, at the front desk, who is friendly and kind and who helps me check in quickly when I arrive late in the day (which is often, due to my work schedule).
