Our area is in need of more spaces for young people who love basketball.
We are calling on our local council to consider repurposing some of the underused tennis courts in Harrison Park into dedicated basketball courts. While we appreciate the tennis facilities, many of them are rarely used, while those who want to play basketball struggle to find available courts.

Background
This small change would make a big impact—encouraging physical activity, social interaction, and community engagement, especially for teens who often have limited free recreational options. This petition is not about removing options for tennis players, but about better balancing the needs of our growing and diverse population. With the right planning, we can ensure that everyone has access to spaces that support their interests and well-being.
Basketball is a growing sport right now.
