Hoopbus Unveils the Newly Refurbished Saratoga Village Court in Ocean Hill.
Hoopbus, in partnership with Metro by T-Mobile and the Public Housing Community Fund, has completed its second court refurbishment in Brooklyn: the Saratoga Village Court, which serves the Ocean Hill community.
For more than sixty years, this court has been a gathering place for neighbors, families, and friends. It has hosted countless pickup games, summer afternoons, and first jump shots. We’re honored to celebrate the generations of residents who have called Saratoga Village home, and to inspire the generations still to come.
On October 18th, Hoopbus marked the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony, part of our nationwide tour with Metro by T-Mobile. Community members came together to welcome the court back and to celebrate the next chapter for this beloved space.
Ocean Hill Community Members gather for the ribbon cutting.
