Are there any gyms that have open play for basketball in baton rouge other than the LSU rec and YMCA's?

I know BREC has some gyms but they are usually closed on the weekends and have activities during the week.

Where can a brutha go run some full court around here?

I'd like to figure this out as well. Graduated almost 3 years ago and still don't have a regular spot. I might play 5-6 times a year now. Really wish I could find weekly or bi-weekly game somewhere.

The new Team Sportsplex on Perkins is awesome for open gym. Its right in front of Olympia Stadium. Has like 5 or 6 full length basketball courts. You are all welcome.

When is open play? Their website only lists info about youth leagues. Unless I'm just not seeing it..

Here, we have city parks you can either pay the daily walk in fee or join for about 45 bucks I think...one option.
And the other option here is on campus rec for college students.
ANNNNNNNNND the last resort is a school gym....which is the least likely during the winter because of school team practice but in the summer/spring where practicing is illegal got access to a local hs gym.

Never found a place to do free hoops open to the public though so best bet is joining somewhere.
