Six hoops encircle the perimeter of this Three-In-One set of basketball courts at Ninigret Park on the grounds of the former U.S. Navy Auxiliary Landing Field in Charlestown, Rhode Island. A southwest-to-northeast oriented court covers the entire playing surface. Two sets of additional hoops are oriented southeast-to-northwest to form a pair of smaller courts that overlap the larger version.
Replaced in 2016, the court surface is in very good condition. It is solid green with white boundary and interior lines for the main court. The side-by-side hoops have free throw lanes outlined in yellow. Each of the half dozen goals are identical: extra-beefy 8-inch square posts with green safety padding hold up clear acrylic backboards. The backboards have aluminum frames, white borders, and white shooter's squares. Breakaway rims are standard red-orange color with white nylon nets. A single set of three-tier spectator bench seating is on a grassy area to the southwest. There is parking enough for several hundred vehicles.
