Looking to get shots up but haven’t found an open court in the Oakland area? We got your back. We’ve scouted out all outdoor basketball courts around Oakland to figure out which ones are currently open (with hoops & rims) and have put together this running list for the community.
We will do our best to keep this list up-to-date, but things may change pretty quickly in this environment. Please email us at info@squadz.com if you find any of these courts have been closed.
Note from The Squadz Team: We do not condone reckless use of facilities that might jeopardize the containment of the COVID-19 virus. Please wear a mask whenever possible and keep your distance from people outside of your group. We simply want this to be a helpful resource for families, roommates, or quarantine units to get outside and play responsibly.
