Default No one can help me with this?

I saw some outdoor hoops but they looked to be inside of a prison. No thanks. Are there no other outside hoops? Do i have to learn how to surf?

Sorry, but this just made me crack up. What part of Carlsbad are you in? Are you near any of these parks that have courts?

Other than that, I'd say yeah, you need to learn to surf. Buy a used long board and head down to La Jolla Shores or even Carlsbad State Beach. Both are pretty good spots for beginners.

I use to play a couple times a week at what we called "Kelly Park", but I guess the official name is "Laguna Riviera Park". It's on the corner of Kelly and Park Drive. There are lights there. There are full court pick up games on some nights, and normally you can get picked up on a team pretty easily as people rotate out. It's only one court though, but they keep it in pretty good shape. There are also some tennis courts there.

There's probably more golf greens than basketball courts up there.

For La Costa, Stagecoach Park use to have some little half-court games that were alright. I never played in the gym there, but I believe they would have pickup games in there on certain nights as well with a small entrance fee. This was years ago, so I'm not sure what the deal is now. There are some outdoor half-courts there. It's been a while, but it use to be the only place to find a game in La Costa.
