We asked for additional pickup basketball hot spots, in addition to the five we picked in our Health & Fitness section story two weeks ago, and folks from Roseville piped up.
Chris Pelzman, of the Roseville Parks and Rec department, nominates Maidu Regional Park at 1550 Maidu Drive, Roseville.
Here's what Chris says, via email:
In the late 90's and early part of this decade we were the place to play outdoors because we have a great outdoor court and many Kings players lived near by. In those past days Jason Williams and others were out here playing frequently which drew a big crowd of players. Our court is well maintained and in a great section of the park that also sells snacks and drinks daily and music playing in the park. The best feature might be the fountain players can jump in to cool off quickly after a game when the temperatures rise. The games pick-up during the week typically after 5 p.m. and after 10 a.m. on weekends. Our court is lighted until 10 p.m. every day as well.
