Rucker Park, Outdoor basketball court in Harlem, Manhattan, US
The basketball court sits at the intersection of 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, featuring regulation height hoops and concrete playing surface.
Named after Holcombe Rucker, a teacher who organized youth basketball events in the 1950s to give local children recreational and educational opportunities.
The court has welcomed numerous NBA stars including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, and Kevin Durant throughout its existence.
The park includes bathrooms, handball courts, a baseball field, a children's playground, and a spray shower area for community recreation.
In 2022, this outdoor court became the first open-air venue to host The Basketball Tournament, a single-elimination competition with cash prizes.
