What are some good parks where I can play some night basketball in San Diego?

Question

I go to USD and I usually play at their gym. But its not open at night anymore due to intramural games. I want to satisfy my basketball jones and I need a park where I can continue to play. Usually play at night during the week so looking for some good lighted courts where I can get in on some 5 on 5.

Answer 1

The gyms in Balboa park are open late and there is always a good game going. There are also some clubs, such as:

Mira Mesa Men's League is classified as a B/C league. This is a good league and it is fairly competitive. Mira Mesa also has an average size court with excellent lighting.

Men's basketball leagues Four-on-four open and men's 40-and-over league.Mission Valley YMCA. [phone]

Men's and Youth Basketball teams Participate in league play. Kearny Mesa Recreation Center, 3170 Armstrong St. [phone]

SanDiegobasketball.com has a lot of good information on their site for just drop in sites too.

Answer 2

There's always tons of people playing at the Pacific Beach Receration Center on the corner of Diamond and Gresham. The rec center closes around 8pm and that's when they turn the lights off. But there are tons of people playing up until 8 and the courts are lighted. They always have 5 on 5 games going.
