Why basketball + playground beats a bare school yard
Outdoor hoops sit in park belts from Westerpark to Flevopark and IJburg. Parents need asphalt, a rim, and a speeltuin for the kid on the fence. This shortlist spreads courts across west, east, south, and centre-edge greens.

How to use this on ParkConnect
Open the map, search Amsterdam, and tap each card to jump to the pin. Filter Sport → Basketball when you are already in town. If a court or table is missing or wrong on OSM, use Add plac zabaw / Tag here and set Sport → Basketball to Yes after you play. Pair a sports stop with a nearby playground so mixed ages stay happy. Log the exact pin name, not a vague “Amsterdam park.”
Parent tips
Winter courts can ice over — check before you promise a game.
Bring your own ball.
Mark rim/net status after you play.
Theo van Goghpark is a strong multi-sport + playground combo.
