Our high-school courts aren’t open to the public. Every few months some unwitting adults go over to try to play outside of school hours, and the cops come and kick them out.

There’s a smaller park in a suburb nearby, but there’s only three courts and they always seem occupied. My in-laws live near a park with a few more courts that is actually open to the public, but it’s a 15-minute drive to get there. Part of the initial appeal was that the park with all the new courts was barely a mile from our apartment. All the extra hoops to use it are frustrating.
