Request Reservations for Outdoor Basketball Courts at Select Montgomery County Public School Locations


Outdoor basketball courts are available for reservation at 15 public school locations. Reservation requests may be submitted online via www.ActiveMONTGOMERY.org. A valid login for ActiveMONTGOMERY is required. If you do not have an account, you may create one online when visiting the site.

Court availability:
  • Weekends and Holidays: Sunrise to Sunset
  • Weekdays during the school year: After the school day hours end until Sunset
  • Weekdays during the summer: Sunrise to Sunset
Cost:
  • Non-profit use: $10.00 per hour
  • For-profit use: $15.00 per hour
Courts at each location have been numbered. If you arrive an notice that numbers have been defaced or removed, please contact our office to let us know.

Similar to how CUPF issues permits for use of tennis courts, the plan is to permit no more than half of the basketball court space at the selected schools for community use, leaving the other half of the space open for walk-on-use by the community free of charge on a first come, first serve basis. This allows individuals or small groups to have space to play basketball. 

For clarity, walk-on use without a permit is allowed; however, if someone arrives with a permit the court must be relinquished to the permit holder only for the exact times and court number(s) shown on the permit. Organized community activities MUST request a reservation for use.

The permitted use could include organized basketball use as permissible under Executive Orders related to COVID-19, or it could include other appropriate community use with social distancing, such as dance class, karate class, church services, scout meetings, exercise class, fitness training, etc.
