There are basketball courts everywhere. 

Basketball is a global sport capable of bringing people together through competition or recreation. Because of the sport’s global dominance, we tend to see basketball courts, both public and private, scattered across the world. Most courts share the same relative size, similar hoops and backboards, and are often in similar locations. 

And then there are the ones that don’t fit that mold.

Here are some of the most unique and well-known basketball courts in the world: 

3D Basketball Court – Münech, Germany

This is by far one of the most unique and visually pleasing public courts out there, though perhaps not ideal for competitive 5-on-5 game. Located in Munich, Germany, this 3D court brings visitors from far and wide to witness a new take on one of the world’s most popular sports. It’s soft red tartan dunes create an unusual and challenging element to a sport that has historically stayed the same for decades. 

City Wall Basketball Court – Dubrovnik, Croatia

This aesthetically pleasing court is sunken into the beautiful waterfront city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The cool blues and greens of the court perfectly match the aqua reflections of the Adriatic Sea. With the aid of a cool ocean breeze while kids play a friendly game of pick up, this is by far one of the best locations for a court. No matter if you are a basketball lover or not, look down from either side of the city walls of Dubrovnik and you will be pleased with breathtaking sights. 

Centre Market Rooftop Court – New York, USA

Perfect for getting your shots up, this fully encaged rooftop basketball court has an unreal view of New York’s ‘Little Italy.’ As we all know, space in Manhattan can be hard to come by, which is why Robert and Crystal Novogratz created this masterpiece atop their townhouse. What’s better than playing basketball while smelling fresh baked Italian goods flood the city streets?

Tonle Sap Lake Floating Basketball Court – Chong Khneas, Cambodia 

Believe it or not, this is a local Cambodian basketball court used by hundreds of residents year round. Fully caged in and surrounded by 1,042 square miles of water, this basketball court floats above Lake Tonle Sap. Interestingly enough, a majority of the area’s attractions are built on barges and stilts above the water, including schools, stores, and homes. 

Pigalle – Paris, France

Part sport, part piece of art, this bold court is located between two buildings in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. With bright colors and unique use of what would otherwise be an alleyway, this cultural phenomenon draws visitors and basketball players alike.
