Basketball hoop nets missing

Reported via mobile in the Park Repairs category anonymously at 20:42, Tue 24 June 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7758552.

Hi,

I've started to play basketball with my son on the basketball courts in Beckenham Rec park and noticed one of the nets missing and the other unclipped from the rim.

Can you replace the existing type of nets with metal nets that are more resilient and less prone to being damaged? Not having a net when playing basketball spoils the fun of the game. Appreciate kids may damage the existing net/s if replaced with nylon ones.

Thank you

Regards, Mark Mortlock

  • Thank you for your continued patience. We are looking into this with specialist contractors. It appears these hoops do not have fixing points for a net to be attached to which will follow by health and safety regulations. We are working with the specialist for alternative quotes for these repairs.
