Penn North Cloverdale Basketball Courts
Cloverdale is first overall without much argument. Baltimore has produced Muggsy Bogues, Sam Cassell, Rudy Gay and Carmelo Anthony, and the through-line connecting the city's basketball generations runs across this asphalt on Druid Hill Avenue.
- Best for
- the definitive Baltimore run
- Busiest
- summer evenings, league nights
Druid Hill Park Druid Hill Park
Druid Hill takes second overall on history and scale. A park older than most American cities' entire park systems, and the basketball sits right in the middle of West Baltimore's basketball geography.
- Best for
- big-park weekend runs
- Busiest
- summer weekends
Ednor Gardens The Weinberg Y in Waverly
The Weinberg Y is third overall as Baltimore's best indoor floor, and the Memorial Stadium site gives it a claim on the city's sporting memory that no other gym here has.
- Best for
- north Baltimore indoor runs
- Busiest
- weekday evenings

Patterson Park Patterson Park
Patterson Park is fourth overall as east Baltimore's anchor. The busiest park in the city, and the courts get the traffic that comes with it.
- Best for
- east Baltimore pickup
- Busiest
- summer evenings, weekends
Upton The Y in Druid Hill
The Druid Hill Y is fifth overall because it completes the West Baltimore picture. Cloverdale outdoors, this indoors, both on the same avenue, both serving the same community.
- Best for
- West Baltimore indoor runs
- Busiest
- after school, weekday evenings
Carroll Park Carroll Park
Carroll Park is sixth overall as the southwest's pick, and the dedicated court listing tells you the basketball is a destination in its own right rather than an afterthought in a big park.
- Best for
- southwest Baltimore runs
- Busiest
- summer afternoons
Central Park Heights C. C. Jackson Recreation Center
C. C. Jackson is seventh overall as the best of Baltimore's public rec gyms. In a city where rec centers have closed by the dozen, the ones that still run good basketball earn their place.
- Best for
- city rec indoor runs
- Busiest
- after school, weekday evenings
Locust Point Latrobe Park
Latrobe closes the overall list as south Baltimore's pick. High rating, a genuine neighbourhood run, and Fort McHenry a few minutes away for the rest of the afternoon.
- Best for
- Locust Point runs
- Busiest
- summer evenings
