Games and sports provide opportunities for the youth to mingle with other kids and get some exercise. Outdoor play should not be deprived from kids but rather encouraged among them. Engaging in games and sports not only contributes to a fulfilling childhood but also helps in developing a healthy body and mind.

The Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks sees the importance of physical activity, which is why it partnered with humanitarians, including Alex von Furstenberg, Ali Kay, and The Diller – von Furstenberg Family Foundation, for the refurbishment of existing outdoor basketball courts in LA. Selected courts will benefit from the tie-up since it will sponsor and manage several court repairs and upgrades. The restoration of such courts will depend on the individual site-specific needs, which include improvement of goal posts, replacement of glass backboards and goal rings, and installation of asphalt court surfaces. The selection will be based on the courts’ usage and need for enhancement.
The organization understands that these basketball courts play a formidable role in inspiring the youth to get healthy, get smart, and get social.
