Camp Meigs Field - Boston, MA - Outdoor Basketball Courts on Waymarking.com

In the Readville section of Boston is the Camp Meigs Playground, which has a full basketball court within it.

This location is bounded by Stanbro St, Cliffort St, Parkson St, and Hyde Park Ave. Park along the street.

The court is a full court with hoops at either end. The asphalt surface is flat and painted green with white lines. There is a backboard and a net for each hoop. On the sides are benches for each team and a roofed area where others can watch. A fence lines three sides.

The green space is apparently maintained by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (Mass DCR), which had absorbed the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC), which probably had the green previously. Check the web site for details on using this court.

The grounds were once the parade and training grounds of Camp Meigs during the Civil War. Here the 54th Massachusetts Infantry was trained - featured in the film 'Glory.' A monument is located nearby.
