Downtown Tom Lee Park
Tom Lee is first overall because it is the most meaningful public court built in America this decade. A civic memorial, a work of art, and a working run, all under one roof on the Mississippi.
- Best for
- the definitive Memphis run
- Busiest
- summer evenings, weekends
Binghampton Lester Community Center
Lester is second overall because it is the clearest line in Memphis between a neighbourhood court and the league. Penny learned here, came back, and coached here. The building is the proof.
- Best for
- Binghampton heritage runs
- Busiest
- after school, weekday evenings
Mid-South Fairgrounds The Salvation Army Kroc Center Memphis
The Kroc Center is third overall on facility quality and reach. Best indoor rating in Memphis, and pricing that keeps it open to the city rather than a slice of it.
- Best for
- full-facility indoor runs
- Busiest
- weekday evenings, weekends
