We partnered with three city councils to open floodlit courts in underserved areas. Players and residents share their stories.
Basketball courts are more than concrete and paint. For dozens of kids in three Mumbai neighbourhoods, the new BlackTop courts represent safety, mentorship, and a path forward.
"Before the court opened, kids had nowhere to go after school," says Coach Anjali Rao. "Now we have 40 kids showing up every evening."
The Dharavi Hardwood opened in March 2026 after a 6-month partnership between BlackTop and the municipal corporation. The floodlights run until 10 pm every night.
