The outdoor basketball court at Jackson Playground will receive an aesthetic upgrade with a temporary art installation in early 2025.
The San Francisco Recreation & Park Department is working with artist Victor Solomon and the Courtside Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to restoring and elevating basketball courts with community, creativity and opportunity.
The temporary art mural on the surface of the court will celebrate our city’s love of basketball as San Francisco gets ready to host the NBA All-Star game in February 2025 at nearby Chase Center. The concept design features overlapping, contrasting circles with a color pallet inspired by the San Francisco Bay. The mural will be temporary as Jackson Playground will undergo a complete renovation with an anticipated start date in 2027.
The SF Recreation and Parks Department has experience and success applying artwork on courts/surfaces working with artists on designs, including Hayes Valley Playground, Golden Gate’s Skatin’ Place, India Basin Shoreline Park, and most recently at our newest park, India Basin Waterfront Park.
