    You could shoot some b-ball outside of a school.

    Though you'd want to be on the look out for a couple of guys, up to no good.

    There's an outdoor court by the tennis courts in Westside. You should try some community centre's also, you might be able to play in some of them.

    And one that looked to me like a basketball court (I don't play sport and these things all look very similar ;) ) down in Clarinbridge, tucked away in an estate near the cemetery.
