Hoop it up! Creswell planning to build new basketball court

CRESWELL – It was a slam dunk for youth in Creswell on Monday, after the Creswell City Council approved an amendment to allocate $15,000 for the installation of a half-court basketball court at the Cobalt Activity Center at 364 Cobalt Lane.
This initiative follows community feedback that stressed the need for more sports facilities in Creswell.
Mayor Nick Smith, who also coaches third-grade boys basketball, called this project “his baby,” and emphasized the need for a separate, youth-friendly court with lower hoops to serve younger children and avoid conflicts with older players at existing facilities like Harry Holt Memorial Park.
“They need another place to play, not just the older kids. We need a place for the kids to play,” Smith said.
