Phase 1 of the Brighton beach basketball court renovation is now complete, following the Hoopsfix Foundation’s partnership with Brighton & Hove City council.
Completed at the end of October 2024, phase 1 included extending the court by 4 metres in length and the width by two metres, resurfacing and replacing the hoops, backboards and posts.
Brighton Beach Court is reopened for the winter with a full resurface, a 4m length/2m width extension, brand new posts with padding, backboards, & flex rims!

The courts – which you can follow on Instagram @brightonbeachcourt – feature FIBA regulation distance markings across one full court, regulation perspex backboards and spring-loaded rings, and an art-design concept developed by Sam Sure from Half Decent Day that will be installed in the Spring of 2025 to complete Phase 2.
The Hoopsfix Foundation made a financial contribution to the project – which was predominantly funded by Brighton & Hove City Council – out of profits from the annual Hoopsfix All-Star Classic, making it a true community-funded project.
As part of our ongoing commitment to the space, Hoopsfix will help organise a launch event in May of 2025, along with running at least one event there every summer.
