Taking shape right now is the Hutt Valley's first public half court basketball court.

It's being installed on Grant's Bush Reserve in Wallaceville Estate and only metres away from a host of residential houses.

I have mixed feelings in regard to this amenity designed in particular for 10-20 year olds to enjoy.

Some of these amenities get dismantled overseas and I believe one was shut down in Auckland.

Outdoor public half court basketball courts can promote high noise levels, unruly behaviour and a place for influencing anti social actions.

The Upper Hutt City Council had received submissions etc opposing the court and/or where it is located.
