Way back in the day Greystone Baptist Church in Durham had a gym that they opened up, not sure if it was just for members of the church or not.

Will outdoor courts not work?

I recall something from the movie 'White Men Can't Jump":

Looks like you forgot to compensate for the fact that the wind in California can take a shot and move it 6-8 inches there, Billy Ho.

Outdoor courts work just fine but I will primarily shoot around on weeknights, and until spring/summer I would much prefer indoor.

If anyone knows of any good outdoor courts in RTP that works too as I'll eventually play there.

public school property is owned by the public so unless there are scheduling conflicts, any school court should be accessible for use if building is open. just call the ones near you.

There is a public rec facility up Alston near NCCU. It is $2 for Durham residents/$2.50 for out-of-towners.
I'm fairly certain that they have an indoor basketball court. I know that they have everything else - indoor pool, racquetball, etc.

You can give Raleigh Parks and Rec (on Wade Ave.) a call and they can tell about the facilities closest to you as well as when there is "open gym".

Don't forget to follow-through on your jumper.

I'm in Northwest Raleigh and I am also looking for somewhere to play basketball. I was curious about the North Raleigh Y (on Creedmoore) and Gold's Gym. It looks like both of these places use their gyms for much more than basketball and there are a few slots when games can happen.

Any other suggestions for basketball/gyms in my area?

If you are looking for a court near RTP - there is one just north of Bethesda elementary off Miami Blvd that hosts work league basketball, but Im not sure if they have open gym hours. Otherwise, the closest community center I know of to the sourthern part of RTP at least is Morrisville's Cedar Fork community center, which at least used to have open gym times. There are some in Cary as well, like Bond Park and Herb Young(?) on Academy St.
