Wondering how people find courts that are free? Seems like the only thing to do is to drive out and hope for the best.
I don't mind playing with strangers but sometimes my friends and I go in a big group and don't want to intrude on other people.
Strategy for Finding Available Basketball Courts?

Best bet is to book an indoor court for money. Try your local uni or high school.
Yeah, second this
A few of us go during the day once every couple of weeks. We go to an indoor court (if you’re in Melbourne, can go to Knox/Chadstone/Oakleigh). Costs $5 each from memory
Go anywhere 5am in the morning and I guarantee you will have your choice of court .
Most of the people using the courts are teenage or early 20s guys so just get there before they are out of bed. I find even 9am to be still empty.
Book ahead for a large group. Can usually do this at indoor courts and it’s normally pretty cheap pp.
If you have a big group you can usually book a court in advance, you end up paying less as well.
Some places don't accept bookings (I've only come across 1 in Perth) so yeah, you just have to hope for the best.
