For a short trip, start with a central city court, and post in the Slack group a day or two ahead to find a game.
Central courts
- Boston Common: 2 full courts. Check on nets first.
- Carter Playground: 5 full courts in Roxbury, with waits reported.
- Peters Park I and Titus Sparrow Park: 1 full court each in the South End.
Along the Charles

See indoor options. Call first, as clubs may limit access to members.
