Streetball/Outdoor basketball scene in Geneva?
I was wondering if there is a streetball/outdoor basketball scene in Geneva. Are there any good outdoor courts where you can pick up a few good hoops games?

I have only seen a few courts since I am here...and they were always empty :(

Thanks!

Me and a friend have been looking to find some guys (ppl as not to be sexist) for a three on three game also. Couldn't say where the busiest hoops are though. If you find anyone else, count me and my friend in for a game...

Hey Marcek.

I'm a bit out of touch but I know of a few playgrounds here and there. There's one near the Piscine de Carouge, behind the "boulodrome" and tennis courts. Don't remember the name of the street unfortunately. Then there's a rather ghetto one in Seujet, on rue du Sujet (i believe) in downtown. Other than that, not too sure anymore but I'll have a think about it. Let me know if you want to shoot hoops sometime. I usually go to Carouge.

Yes, I would definetely like to play. Weekends usualy work best for me. It seems like we have at least a 2 on 2 if we all play?! What do you all think? Are you up for some games this weekend if the weather is good? The court at Carouge sounds good to me...I would just need an address or streetname to put in my Navi (I just moved to Geneva 4 weeks ago and still don't know my way around).

Hey Guys,

I would love to join if you play.

Not sure u know but there is a playground around the lake (Train station side) (Almost in front of the "Terasse").

Would you be happy to play there at 6h30 on week days?

OK, somebody needs to make a call if we want to play this weekend!

How about today (Saturday) at 3pm at the court near the piscine de carouge.

Here is a link with the map:

http://maps.google.com/maps?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENFR333&q=Route+de+Veyrier+1227+carouge&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&ei=INhFSuLmHMS7jAeE44XQAQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1

If you zoom in, I think the court is to the right of the pool infront of the river in between all the tennis cours.

Who would be able to join? Does anybody have a good ball (mine is rather old and has not much grip anymore). Let me know...we should get at least 4 to play 2 on 2.

Cheers,

Marcel
